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.

Predictable.

They pull this shit all the time with laws. They keep renaming, rewriting, and resubmitting bills. Also, they hide shit in other bills to sneak it by voters.

Power corrupts and one mitigation is term limits at every level. We also need to demand corporate money be removed from politics, and enforcement of existing corruption laws.
