2 days agoIt is very irritating that ppl just accepted that. It wasn’t forced on us by law. We just… bought the stuff. It was so shiny! Now we have a mass surveilance apparatus that would make the Stasi blush.
Lots of us saw the terrible potential. But way more of us didn’t.

Unfortunately there are ALPRs there too. Mostly big cities. Toronto, Ottawa, Vancouver, etc. Plus some watching major highways. A few in small or mid sized towns like Kamloops. Or Kelowna.
US has the dubious honor of the #1 spot by far, but Europe’s coming in strong too.
This shit is like a cancer. Once the tech advances to make it possible, it spreads all around and it’s going to be a huge exhausting fight to get rid of it.
Corrected post b/c I am an idiot.
