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.

I've seen this guy before on YouTube. While I agree with this vid he always gave me the feeling that his Wikipedia article has a large "controversies" section. Can't quite put my finger on why though.

Is it the tattooed sclera? 😵

Actually no, the tattoos don't really bother me, though they are not to my taste. It's more that he comes across as manic in his content I think.
