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.

Edit: though maybe that's technically unethical. I don't use that style because I like people to see exactly what they're clicking on.
As long as the links match, they are technically being shown more correct information that way.
No, I get it, I'm just being an ethical poindexter: technically, you are sending them to a different link than the one they think they are being sent to, but, obviously, not a moral issue in this case.
What is the difference between ethics and morals, anyways? Anybody?
I’d say the taste, personally.
