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.

For us non-Americans, can someone provide some info about that blue blob on the bottom left, where it looks like there's a camera every 2m?

Makes sense, that’s Murdoch’s turf and he famously can’t see so cameras probably help

Because of the deportations they have to hire demons as line cooks.

That's near the entrance to the holland tunnel, which I presume is what most of the cameras are based around, bridges and tunnels to catch people evading tolls or just maybe trying to flee out of the city?
