A Michigan cannabis dispensary, JARS Cannabis, faces potential sanctions from Madison Heights officials for obstructing a required Flock automated license plate reader (ALPR) camera with a “No Flock Zone” sign. JARS claims the city, not the company, operates the camera and has access to its data. The dispute arises from a settlement agreement requiring the camera installation for the dispensary to obtain a license. This incident highlights growing public opposition to ALPR surveillance, with privacy advocates mapping thousands of cameras nationwide and raising concerns about mass data collection. While supporters argue ALPRs aid law enforcement in solving crimes, critics liken the technology to pervasive government spying.
