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.

People should dress as flock thieves with realistic cameras, the realer looking the better

Don’t you know, some of those Flock cameras are filled with up to $40k for padding alone??

Hell, one guy found $15k in cash, AND keys to a Porsche in one, with a signed title in the glovebox!
