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.

It allows individuals to harass members of the community they don't like through ticky tack violations that can be selectively targeted at any type of "other." At the inception of HOAs that "other" was usually some type of race, but it can apply to anyone who doesn't conform or just who your crabbiest neighbor might not like because they hate kids or don't like that someone drives a nicer car than them or are just angry at their lot in life.
