Here’s hoping other states get similar rulings now that there is one. And also, the state shut off the cameras. So what an absolute win

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.

Worth noting that:
- Ring is partnering with Flock:
- Police use of Flock cameras is notoriously inaccurate, particularly in the case of lazy or stupid cops.

This only applies to the cameras installed by police or local governments, though, right? I ask because I'm in WA but the only Flock cameras in my area are at Lowe's and Home Depot.
