Aaron Rodgers Reportedly Funded NJ Police Surveillance Cameras (www.gadgetreview.com)

Aaron Rodgers, then quarterback for the New York Jets, reportedly lived in Cedar Grove, New Jersey when the alleged 2024 donation was made. Drivers passing through Cedar Grove, New Jersey on a routine errand in 2024 may not have noticed the cameras. According to an investigation by FOIAball, every time a car passed certain intersections, a camera was logging its plate, location, and time of arrival into a searchable police database. The person allegedly funding that network was, at roughly the same moment, publicly complaining about surveillance drones over his own property.

What's wild is how anti-surveillance he's been publicly, so if this is true, it's yet another instance where he's stated something publicly that is outright hypocritical. (Like the time he pretended to be 'immunized'.)

But yeah. What an asshole.
