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.

Stop. This is the exact argument the police used at a city board meeting I went to to protest FLOCK. This is basically saying "Flock is ok as long as used responsibly". It has not and cannot be used responsibly.
So give me absolute power, I promise to use it responsibility so there shouldn't be any worries, right? One of our biggest strategic errors is constantly acting like we need them to agree with us before we act like we're right.
