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
ALPR gets a bad rap. It’s the devil until it helps find your kid who has been kidnapped or solve a crime committed against a loved one.

Gulf Shores just put up $200k in Flock cameras. Officer response time is less than 3 minutes without cameras. They have one setup that only watches the dog park which is vacant most hot or rainy days.

How is this any different than a nearby business having a security camera
Because a judge is gonna have to subpoena a private business’s film, not just free access by some rando local yokal cop.

I hope they have facial recognition and catch any and all sexual predators in the area of that school

If you have the plate number can't you just pay the dollar online to one of those search sites to find out if the car bringing your kid to school belongs to the new boyfriend or not?

I think it’s great idea near a school. Could help id someone not supposed to be there or if something happened be able to find them .

It’s our rapid advance to a dystopian surveillance state. I don’t care about “but they’re in public there is no privacy”, if that’s the world you want to live in great for you. And tbh I don’t care about it being stored on AWS or worried about “bad actors knowing when I drop the kid off”. What I do care about is the complete 24/7 monitoring going on, now being done by AI, and everyone just shrugging it off. I don’t live in China nor want to

If you are that worried about privacy take away your kids phone.

This.
I am inclined to hate it… but I know damn well if me or mine ever had need of it I would be infinitely grateful.

This website will show you the exact type of ALPR and it's capabilities

Livingston Parish recently blanketed both entrances & exits of Juban Crossing Shopping Center with 7 plate readers
Now they know that I drive to Rouse's three times per day
This vid will add to your anxiety

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

They do make them battery powered.

They just steal plates off of a similar make/model of car to get away with felonious crimes.

On a scale of 1-10, how pissed would you be if this was your school?
Roughly a zero.
You do know that there is no expectation of privacy once you go out in public, right?
Would you be butthurt if someone had a ring doorbell camera (or any other safety camera) installed on a house on the way to your kid’s school?

Because of the security cameras at shopping centers and now the ALPR cams going up everywhere license plate theft is skyrocketing.
Once a flock cam has recorded the plate after a crime its forever stored in the system and the plate is no good so another stolen one must take its place
Upgrading your plate bolts to tamper proof torx is the answer
I did mine a few months ago

Only fools are cool with flock cameras. They just dont have the mental capacity to understand the dangers and dont give a frick about the consequences.

unless the laws change you have no right to privacy when moving around in the public.
It's curious then that if there's no expectation of privacy, then all of these images being produced should be public record, right?

Are any tax dollars funding the camera? Is it on private property?
