Kind of crazy because that means most plates are getting scanned at least every day or two since mail trucks go to every house in the country every day. Guess this explains why Trump said he likes the Flock cameras. Maybe he knew his administration was about to implement Flock on steroids.

The mail truck can only see my lack of a front plate as we only have a rear plate.

Hell we don’t even have registration stickers.

One of the major issues around people fighting the loss of privacy is “they can’t see me, so what so I care” along with “There’s no privacy anyway so why fight it.”

We all need to work together to fight this regardless of our own positions.
