Rather than get rid of ALPR cameras entirely, many cities and towns are switching to Axon, whose cameras can be mounted to an existing streetlamp, helping them blend into their surroundings.
I still hate an ALPR, but at least this one doesn’t have a national database attached to it. Less danger of it being misused while people still try to get their cities to drop the tech all together.
I hate to live in a world where every single move I make is recorded by someone’s camera. It really doesn’t matter how the data is used or where it’s stored
100% agree, just seems like a tiny tiny step in the right direction which is all I can expect from governments. I could also be completely wrong and this is worse. I’ll just have to stay informed.
They’re just as dangerous if not more im other ways. Axon is also a common supplier of cop daschcam ALPRs, so with them we not only have to worry about static surveillance but also mobile surveillance.

At least not a national database that you know of.
It would be near impossible to hide something like that
