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.

How would a ‘trusted contact’ recover keys that are supposedly only stored on your devices, when you yourself have lost those devices; unless Apple has stored those keys elsewhere.

The same way E2EE works for anything else? You trust them as a device that can decrypt your keys using their own keys generated on their device. You need to do this at the time you turn on ADP. You cannot do it later.

There’s also no telling what they’ve done with your ‘recovery key’. Just because they refuse to help you, doesn’t mean they have no access; they just won’t share that access with you, as it would blatantly expose their illusion.

The key is randomly generated on your device locally and displayed to you exactly once. If you don't write it down and store it somewhere else, you can never access it again. So, unless you have some actual data to show that the key is being transmitted anywhere, you're just speculating without any evidence.

You don't have to believe any of it. I don't particularly care. But it's wild to come out as confidently as you are when you don't even know the basics about it.
