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.

Is that censor a break in my screen or does that happen to everyone else while scrolling??

Edit: It was leaving temporary afterimages while scrolling. Other posts were fine tho. Restarting my phone seems to have fixed it, so a me-thing most likely.
