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.

Not much, and it's probably soldered onto the board.

But they all have a rather nice solar panel...

I demand they get replaced by steam engines

Right? No woke solar bullshit in my dystopian surveillance systems! I demand the oppression be powered by coal so the blackened skies can match the over all tone of the world
