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 haven't seen so many people bite the bait in a while. Great troll, 10/10 no notes.

Good lord. This guy just racked up 306 downvotes and only 4 upvotes in his eight comments on this post. That's gotta be some kind of record

I know I know calling out lies and propaganda is trolling in these posts 🤣

Nobody who has an understand of events have yet been able to point out the impersonating or crime.

Y'all will suck up that propaganda like a fire hose truth social style 🤷‍♂️
