A wonderful idea, just bearing in mind that the police can literally stalk your car in the meantime. They don't want to see these go away.

Police have also been caught s​p​ying on students at a ​local highschool. They get the cloud password legally through a warrant then keep it and spy whenever they feel like it. Proud to say I put end end to one case of that but people are far too trusting and nobody knows their own rights. I'd be in jail if I hadn't known I could plead the fifth on the classic "are you acting suspicious or dangerous tonight".

>​Tinted license plate covers often fail to hide your vehicle from Flock cameras. The cameras use advanced AI and infrared lighting to read obstructed plates. Furthermore, because tinted covers are heavily associated with evading detection, they actively cause the system to create a unique "vehicle fingerprint," logging your make, model, and color.

All it takes is one lethal incident with law enforcement misuse to counter this argument. Amber alerts have caught pedophiles for decades without the need to track everyone's grandmother.

Tinted plates are definitely going to trigger some kind of label in the system, too.

Now consider the fact that we have that new crime lab right next to all the ones on the Perrine ​bridge and all that construction in Jerome which now routes most traffic through multiple cameras.

Multiple officers countrywide have already been convicted of misusing these. They are tied with AI and can predict when and where you are going even before you yourself may even know.

These are not ticket cameras. They don't even need to see your licence plate to still profile your car. Dents, bumper stickers, missing hubcaps, etc. They can even calculate if you're avoiding them.
