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.

The history of the US is filled with "nah, capital can do what it wants".

Nothing will change while power is consolidated in the hands of the few.

I do wonder about who works at flock. Surely they have options to resist and sabotage from the inside.

Given how shit their cybersecurity is, maybe they have been.

I have to admit, the fact that their HQ is within commuting distance has crossed my mind.
