What are ALPRs
Automated License Plate Readers (ALPRs or LPRs) 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. These systems are marketed as
indispensable tools to fight crime, but they ignore the powerful tools
police already have to track criminals, such as cell phone location
data, creating a loophole that doesn't require a warrant.

The Dangers of ALPRs

ALPRs are a serious risk to your privacy and civil liberties. These
systems continuously record your movements without a warrant, probable
cause, or even reasonable suspicion. Your driving history is rarely
confined to the town or city where the cameras are installed. It's
typically shared with thousands of other agencies nationwide (secretly).
Once the data is out of your community, you have no control over how
it's used or what rules apply, leading to instances of misuse.

Flock Safety is one of the largest ALPR vendors in the United States.
Their cameras are installed for police departments, businesses, and
HOAs. Captured vehicle data is uploaded to Flock's cloud system, where participating agencies can search and share information across
jurisdictions.

Flock is not the only ALPR vendor, and other vendors still participate
in similar practices. See this list of other common ALPR vendors.

no fan of x-posting, but at least you've posted using genuine anonymous remailers ... this newsgroup (alt.privacy) is on-topic and very popular
among privacy advocates, especially for usenet's silent majority called "lurkers", but planet earth isn't heaven, so it must be the other place
