Checking the local paper (yes, I still look at print media) and found this article explaining how license plates in the entire county are now being monitored by Flock Safety.

A number of law enforcement agencies in Sawyer County have advanced their use of tracking technology in recent months with roadside automatic license plate readers (ALPRs).
These devices, sold by a private company called Flock Safety, collect data from every vehicle that drives past. Law enforcement agencies contracting with Flock can then search that data and use it for public safety and investigative purposes.
The Sawyer County Sheriff’s Department, the City of Hayward Police Department and, reportedly, the Lac Courte Oreilles Tribal Police Department are each using Flock cameras. More
Turns out, we’re not the only ones and citizens are pushing back. Here
Make like a shepherd and get the flock outta heah!
Well, wouldn’t you know…Their Corporate HQ is just 45 minutes from my house:
1160 Howell Mill Road NW
Suite 210
Atlanta, Georgia
I was expecting their HQ to be in Brussels, or maybe Tel Aviv.
I wonder how powerful a laser some awful, terrible, totally antisocial criminal would have to use to permanently damage the image chip in one of those flocking cameras.
You cannot travel through or to Sumner Co TN without passing these at multiple points.
Remember what Cool Hand Luke went to prison for?
“When the police department arranged for the city to sign a new, $666,000 extension…”
…what an oddly specific number!
We are all units in the flock now.
Imagine the person you divorced has access to Flock Safety and the means to search its records. Now imagine John Brennan, James Comey and James Clapper have the same access.
We’re either going to put limits on being monitored and our every movement documented by government or we’re going to become slave to those running the security systems.
And the stupid plebes argue ‘if you got nothing to hide….’
Theres a reason they don’t teach kids Orwell anymore…
Thirdtwin, there’s a lot of eating joints in that area. My bet is that the real HQ is in China.
Illuminate the front and back plates, day and night, with several frequencies of (IIRC) UV LEDs. That should block/blur the cameras from reading your license plate.
Someone out there should be able to create a circuit running off the 12V car battery and going directly to the plates. And it should (should) use so little current that you should be able to use it day and night.
Have fun, and rebel on!
Up here in the wilds of Maine, I’ve blown by cops @ 90 MPH on I95 in a 75MPH zone.
No radar according to my detector. They are just sitting there recording every vehicle and the time of day which the SP sends to the state capital, who sells the info to third party companies. Data is money in todays world.
^^^or they have been given a list of plates to look for, and you’re not on it. You up near the Canadian border?
There is a book called The Circle. I can see that becoming the future.
I remember a lot of shit, some of it even happened, but I seem to recall that there was a spray the one could use on a license plate that was invisible (or nearly so) to the human eye but it obscured the plate to a camera. Does anyone else remember this?
If one is installed at the intersection of K and B it’s right where it belongs. The LCO owned Sevenwinds Casino.

They popped up everywhere in my county. One is a mile from the house and at every 4-way stop with no traffic light there’s a camera with a blue light mounted on a telephone pole. Naturally, it’s for our safety of course.
if u ******* want to look up someone’s ass, show up at a colonoscopy
Usta have dark plastic covers over plates to keep carwash brushes from ripping the plates off. Was pulled over, warned that darkened plate covers are illegal. Could it be that darkened plate covers block plate readers?
