License Plate Camera → WRONG Person Accused of Crime

There are many documented cases where police have knowingly used #ALPRs to commit crimes and put people in danger. As history has shown, when governments or third parties gain unchecked surveillance powers, they're eventually used against people who werent doing anything wrong—

License Plate Readers Proliferate in Washington, Bringing Concerns over ICE Overreach - The Urbanist # Automatic license plate readers have proliferated across 81 cities in Washington State, and audits have shown federal agents and anti-abortion states are using Washington plate data to hunt abortion...

Austin's automatic license plate reader program will end this month Austin City Council will not vote this week on renewing the program, effectively ending it. The decision came after several community members and city leaders raised concerns about privacy.

Kudos to Austin, Texas for becoming the latest political body to reject #Flock #ALPRs and/or the pro-Flock legislation they are pushing nationwide. This is no time to be promoting nationwide, supercharged government #surveillance. www.kut.org/austin/2025-...

Flock's #ALPRs have also been used by #ICE (acting through local law enforcement) to go after #undocumented persons.

Persons on both sides of the political isle are increasingly realizing their friends could be next. So let's join together (for once!) & put an end to #Flock 's supercharged ALPRs.
