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.

A police sergeant who is being disciplined for how he engaged with a woman he wrongly accused of theft had a tumultuous past with the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office before he was hired in Columbine Valley, 9NEWS has learned.

After filing a records request, 9NEWS learned Jamie (James) Milliman was investigated for failing to follow through with official duties in December 2012 while employed as a deputy with the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office.

Home Depot and Lowe's Share Data From Hundreds of AI Cameras With Cops (www.404media.co)

The article itself is from August, but after seeing Flock cameras at a local Lowe's store that were missing from the DeFlock map, I thought it'd be worth bringing increased attention to such companies contributing to the propagation of Flock cameras. If there's a Home Depot or Lowe's near you that's not on the DeFlock map already, it might just not have been added yet.
