LOCK SURVEILLANCE🚨: A license-plate camera network built to catch stolen cars now runs 80,000+ cameras across 5,000+ police agencies in 49 states — no warrant required to search it.

San Jose alone: 4 cameras in 2021, 475 by this year, 360 million images in 2024, nearly 4 million searches.

❗️Georgia fired 3 officers this month for searching their own plates. LAPD just found a 32.3% false alert rate that put innocent drivers at gunpoint. 

A Freedom Caucus Republican and a progressive Democrat teamed up to rein it in nationwide and Congress said NO.
