They're part of a cloud-based surveillance network logging your movements in real time, and creating a warrantless database for law enforcement. In this video, I explain: - How ALPRs work - Why this system almost surely violates the Fourth Amendment - How we allowed this dragnet surveillance grid to take root - And what we can do to push back 00:00 A Growing Network of Surveillance 02:30 What are ALPRs 07:39 Dangers 11:39 How Did This Happen 16:01 What Can We Do 21:38 Benefits vs Costs 23:28 SECRET Origin Story Time!
