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.
A public outcry that focuses on “flock” and “deflocking”.
So (as the article points out) when the pressure works, the result isn’t no more surveillance.
The result is they sign a contract with a different company, usually for even more cameras.
And it’s not much of a logically leap, to assume that once the new company becomes large enough, they will also expand what they do with the cameras just like Flock did.
Correct…
