“One of the underlying problems with surveillance technology and law enforcement is that so many people are skeptical — at a minimum — of law enforcement and what they are up to and what they are using this technology for,” said Gary Daniels, legislative director of the ACLU of Ohio.

“So then when people try to find out more about it and try to get government records and data they are entitled to and they have a bunch of roadblocks thrown in their way, it certainly does not help the case on the government’s side that ‘we have nothing to hide here’ and ‘we’re only using these things for good purposes.’ ”

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.
