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.

Every news article about Flock cameras seems deliberately incorrect. They are not LPR cameras, they are full-on video security cameras, combined with server-based AI to search for/recognize objects, people, animals, activities, etc. They do not just store vehicle and/or license plate information.

The latest ones are also fingerprinting Bluetooth and other wireless devices as they walk/drive by. So it can actually attach a device to a face in the right circumstances.
