Automated License Plate Readers (ALPRs), particularly those from Flock Safety, are increasingly deployed by law enforcement and private entities, sparking significant privacy concerns. These AI-powered cameras capture not just license plates but also vehicle identifiers like make, model, color, and even unique bumper stickers or dents, creating vast surveillance networks. Numerous cities have canceled contracts due to worries about data privacy and connections to immigration enforcement. Despite growing pushback, law enforcement advocates defend ALPRs, claiming they are instrumental in solving crimes, though activists dispute this, citing a lack of independent proof of crime reduction.
