Agree with you about possible loopholes. My ideal would be to ammend the language of the bill to explicitly forbid USE of ALPR data. No matter even if the data came from a privately owned camera. In fact, we may be able to write to our reps to suggest that.

But assuming we don't get that far in this particular bill, I still think it's better than not passing it at all. First, a lot of communities will resepct the spirit of it. I think mine would do that. We're already on the edge of banning them city wide. Lots of opposition to the cameras here in the electorate and we're pressuring the city gov. With a national bill like this, I don't believe my local gov would try to loophole it.

Of course, some others would. There would prob be court cases over it, yada yada. But nationwide, I believe this bill would make a dent. Even in its flawed form. It would also raise awareness of Flocks with Joe Sixpack. Most ppl don't like the idea at all, once they learn of it. Just building momentum helps. Even if it's not the end of the journey.

Destroy flock cameras when you see them.

There is no way anything good is happening from now on. The rest of our lives are almost certainly fucked.
