Dayton workers have placed bags over the city’s Flock cameras.

This follows the city’s suspension of use of its Flock cameras — a type of automatic license plate reader that generates data that can be accessed by departments all over the country — after realizing its data was being scanned for immigration reasons, in violation of city policy. A Dayton Daily News investigation found other area police departments allow their data to be accessed for immigration purposes.

Sometimes my hometown doesn't shit its pants and faceplant. Though I've been bothering them about this shit for months.

Do you suppose they're sanitizing the inputs they're getting before running them though AI or putting them in a database?
