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 don't understand the charges because they appear to be based on real cameras

I don’t understand how the cops didn’t get shot at, but that’s just me.

Are you trying to be edgy and indicate that people should shoot all cops? Do you think that sounds reasonable?

So you're essentially an anarchist who believes in killing random cops?

I don’t think that you know what an anarchist is, And I don’t think you understand what a cop does for a living. It’s not protect and serve… the people.
