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.

Nope! The only question that needs to be asked is: who manages the encryption keys?

If the answer isn't you, it isn't E2E encrypted.

The answer is you lol it’s end to end encrypted. You couldn’t do one google search before making some dumb assumptions?

Do you actually know anything about Apes E2EE or ADP?

You do control the keys. They’re generated solely on your device locally.
