Spread of Flock Safety cameras in Michigan raises concerns of increased surveillance
(www.michigandaily.com)
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 appreciate the info, and will keep it in mind.
As an aside, based on some replies, I think I've been misunderstood about the air rifle. I mean an overpowered BB gun, not a real gun. There's no point in making that much noise when a heavy pellet can do the same damage with no noise or permit.
Which also reminds me, if anyone were to be interested in an air rifle, the heaviest round pellets won't break the sound barrier. Sometime the light or standard weight pellets will go supersonic and sound like a real gun. Scared the hell out of myself plinking in my backyard.
