Automated License Plate Readers (ALPRs) are AI-powered cameras that capture and analyze images of all passing vehicles, storing details like your car’s location, date, and time. They also capture your car’s make, model, color, and identifying features such as dents, roof racks, and bumper stickers, often turning these into searchable data points. These cameras collect data on millions of vehicles—regardless of whether the driver is suspected of a crime. While these systems can be useful for tracking stolen cars or wanted individuals, they are mostly used to track the movements of innocent people.

Nah, Star Tribune is a conservative rag. They meant vandals, but fuck em, they are heroes.
They could at least spell "Heros" correctly... But seriously, we the people didn't approve or vote for these! If politicians want to make backroom deals to have a private corporation record, store (insecurely), and use images of us, our vehicles, and our private business, then they're fair game. We didn't agree to this surveillance...
