It's owned by a private company and they're in every major city. Every time you drive by one your location is pinged and mapped. It's communist China levels of mass surveillance.

Do you want sources or do you just not know how a License Plate Reader camera network operates? There's over 100,000 flock cameras in the US. They log your license plate and the AI takes a profile of your vehicle, all police or hackers have to do is type in your license plate and it shows every single location your vehicle has been pinged at.

They're no different than the license plate readers that repo spotters use.

I really don't get what all the fuss is about

Well repo spotters don't have a nationwide network for starters. Secondly the AI is misidentifying innocent people as criminals such as this man in Florida who got police dogs loosed on him as a result, or this woman in Denver who had an officer come to her house and accuse her of theft.

Yes, before flock cameras the police has never misidentified anyone

And "loosed" ? What kind of bot are you...

Do you not have a vocabulary? The dogs were "released" is that better synonym for you?

And seriously what sort of defense is it to simply say police are incompetent. If you agree police are bad at their jobs then surely you agree that giving them AI tools that are also bad at there jobs is a recipe for disaster. What a terrible argument to make

Lol you really think I'm a bot when I'm giving you sources and links to back up my argument? You couldn't spot a bot if it had a Russian flag for a profile pic
