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.

Numerous posts sharing an address purportedly belonging to Langley have circulated on X, with many users responding to a viral post that quoted Langley as saying Americans must “compromise” on their privacy.

Some shared what they said was a blurred image of Langley’s home on Google Street View, with one X user saying the “compromise apparently doesn’t apply to him.”

Put up a row of cameras across from his house and see how he likes it.

Remember when Princess Diana died trying to escape paparazzi?

I'm not sure why I just thought of that. Hmm. Random.

[–] AVincentInSpace@pawb.social 1 points 4 days ago

Princess Diana wasn't insisting that no one deserved any sort of privacy once they left their house, except her.

[–] Cherry@piefed.social 8 points 1 week ago (1 children)

She wasn't a insufferablec u n t

also paparazzi harass people beyond just taking photos. when you hear a story of one behaving civilly you are surprised.

I saw in the rich neighborhoods in the town where I live the landscapers use their trailers to block the Flock cameras for their rich clients.

Must be weird to view people as a shield.

FWIW, I appreciate your discovery of this systemic issue IRL, and even moreso for sharing it here, for others.

All in all, the number of "elites" who wouldn't use any of us as a human shield/prop/tool/beast of burden is nonzero, but it might as well be.

Thus making it the perfect target for crime!

[–] BigMacHole@thelemmy.club 41 points 1 week ago (1 children)

This is TERRIBLE! RICH People shouldn't have to Compromise on Privacy! That's ONLY for Poors!

[–] lobut@lemmy.ca 7 points 1 week ago

You don't understand! They have to protect their children and their lives because they can be targeted!

Poor people aren't real humans so it's okay. When they get targeted it's probably because they deserve it! /s

[–] crazycraw@crazypeople.online 23 points 1 week ago

oh no. Anyway.

[–] MyceliumDewdrop@slrpnk.net 21 points 1 week ago (2 children)

It's evil to write an article about it and not post the address.

[–] explodicle@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 week ago

Rampant censorship. Even posting it here makes things harder for the admins.

i dunno. it lets us know it's out there and probably real this time, so get your... i forget what this dude did but he's working with krasnov somehow so let's just mail him those tiny millstone necklaces

[–] hperrin@lemmy.ca 21 points 1 week ago

Oh no, he got surveilled?

I won't tell you his address, but in unrelated news, if you type in 2588 on Google there are a lot of very similar suggested searches in Atlanta Georgia

[–] grue@lemmy.world 13 points 1 week ago

Newsweek has not verified the address and is not publishing or linking to it.

The oppressor class has solidarity.

[–] TimboSlice@discuss.online 12 points 1 week ago

I looked up the address for the company that makes those shock gloves for ICE and it's a big ass house an hour away from me. Of course it has a huge security gate.

2588 Winslow Dr NE, Atlanta, GA 30305

[–] Amuro_eat@lemmy.blahaj.zone 12 points 1 week ago

Hell yeah. Maybe he will get some stalkers

[–] Sour_Kabos@reddthat.com 9 points 1 week ago

Well, if he hates privacy then no problem here.

[–] Yuccagnocchiyaki@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago

They even play coy and call us sheep with names like this.

I'm so sick of them and their constant greed. They are ALWAYS taking and ALWAYS STEALING.

THEY NEED TO GO AWAY NOW

[–] godsammitdam@lemmy.zip 7 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

What's the problem? I thought privacy was a small price to pay for "safety?"

Sounds like that Kirk guy on guns.

[–] decolo@piefed.social 4 points 1 week ago

The Axon CEO is Rick Smith. I wonder where he lives

[–] friend_of_satan@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

If he's done nothing wrong he has nothing to hide, right?

"targeted" is very loaded language. i just see a call for someone to live by their words or fold.

[–] explodicle@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 week ago

This is the compromise! The CEO is the whipping boy for the shareholders.
