And not accurately btw. They’ve sent hundreds of people to jail for crimes they didn’t commit due to a mistake on the ai’s part :)

Like someone wants to ban ALPRs and I’m like “Well no… I still want toll roads to function where you pay by mail… I just don’t want my national location history searchable by any police officer on a whim”

Cops are finding out they are being watched as they use or abuse the system in droves. It’s building a data map of internal corruption in local/state PD’s as well. I find that to be very poetic.

I can leave my phone at home, and there are many more legal hoops that you have to jump through in order to get that information.
