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.

You could have the 2 parts separated internally in the same ball (kind of like a cold/hot pack that you "crack" to activate). On breaking (or shooting) the barrier is broken and the two parts mix.

Like a Tide Pod, but spherical, and arguably even more dangerous to eat!

Delicious AND science‽

Mixing was going to be a concern, but the spiral feature should greatly help in that effort and a great addition :)
