Flock camera installed outside of nearby school, what's your take?

I recently found out that a nearby school has a flock camera on the road leading to it. This is their ALPR model, not the video one. From what I understand it takes a photo of the car, license plate, bumper stickers, and (inadvertantly) occupants in the car.
The issues I see are 1)these photographs include minors on their way to school 2)they are stored on Amazon Web Services cloud, with no verification they are actually deleted at the specified time 3)No way to verify if the data is being sold 4)If/when AWS gets hacked, every person/family that drives their kids to school is suddenly exposed to some very bad actors online, who suddenly know what the vehicle looks like, photographs of the child, what time they get to school, and who brings them, on top of the address of each occupant. This concern is outside of others like abuse of the system, and errors which could and have held up innocent people at gunpoint.
On a scale of 1-10, how pissed would you be if this was your school?

does the school not have security cameras? are you not passing security cameras all day everyday? unless the laws change you have no right to privacy when moving around in the public.

0, they are in public. All of this can also be viewed if someone stood on that road and used their eyeballs.

How is this any different than a nearby business having a security camera? And how would a bad actor get access to the address of each vehicle occupant?

3)No way to verify if the data is being sold

Lord give me the strength to accept the things I cannot change.
Yall aren’t stopping what’s coming with technology.
It’s about to be impossible to be a criminal unless you are smart or outright violent and you will be caught by asap.
Yall waste so much fricking time talking about shite yall can’t change instead of changing the fricking shite we can
It’s so infuriating

What about every single person who has a ring, blink or nest camera on the way to school? What an odd to worry about

Police have been abusing these systems for years.

KEY WEST, Fla. — An arrested Florida Keys sheriff’s deputy misused official law enforcement databases in pursuit of a woman he met on the set of the television show “Bad Monkey,” according to documents obtained by Local 10 News on Wednesday.

The report states that he “began whistling at her” and proceeded to “cat call” her, “very loudly” saying, “Oh my god, why didn’t nobody tell me we were bringing models to (the) set.” Investigators said the two eventually spoke and while the woman said she had a boyfriend, Roman was “flirting and joking” with her and they exchanged names and cellphone numbers.
He allegedly “stated something along the lines of, ‘I need your name and number just in case I pull you over someday,’” according to the report, and sent her an unanswered direct message on Instagram.
Investigators said Roman used Florida’s Driver And Vehicle Information Database - better known as DAVID - and the Florida Crime Information Center/National Crime Information Center - or FCIC/NCIC - databases to look up the extra and enter her license plate information into a “hotlist,” which would alert if her vehicle was picked up on any license plate readers.

Zero. Now ask me if I want the bad actors, active shooters and pedophiles info copied down if they are hanging around the school.

Just assume you’re being videoed anytime you’re outside your house and possibly inside your house.

You and your family are not as interesting or important as you might think.
No “bad actors online” are hacking AWS to get blurry pictures of random kids seen thru a dirty windshield.
If someone hurts your kid, it’s 99.99% going to be someone you already know who has immediate access to them. Or someone online they’ve voluntarily engaged with.

Typically kids driving to school are with their parent, or are driving themselves. Each car that passes by each camera creates a report of the vehicle, time, date, vehicles registered owner, their address, and a picture of both the front and back of each car in entirety, not just the license plate, including the driver and occupants. That is the stored and compared to other flock cameras which also track that vehicle's location and movements over long periods of time. AWS stores all of this information on their servers, if it was breached suddenly every person that passes a flock camera anywhere will have their daily habits exposed for anyone to see. Where your kids go to school, what time they arrive, who brings them...
Normal security cameras can't tell me your route to school, where you like to stop, the registered owner of the vehicle, and where you live.
