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 lived in an HOA neighborhood for a year with no issues. I didn't like the neighborhood because it was cookie cutter but the HOA never made any complaints to us.
Our driveway got plowed because of the HOA so that was nice.
Neighborhood was not very attractive in the sense that there were barely any trees in any of the yards.
