I see a lot of people confused about what Flock cameras actually are. This is not just an automated license plate reader to catch amber alerts and stolen vehicles. It is so much worse. These cameras are logging license plates and car details such as dents and bumper stickers billions (with a B) of times a month, saving those movements into a database and correlating that data with a myriad of other data points. A cop can enter something like a telegram handle, phone number, email, SSN, or even just a keyword and get every car associated with that data point, and study the exact movements of those cars over an extended period of time. All without a warrant. With that kind of data they can learn everything about your entire life. Who you hang out with, who you fuck, what medical problems you have, how often you drink, etc. https://x.com/i/status/2074577188985401490
