I don't get it

99% of the population is voluntarily carrying sophisticated tracking devices with self-reporting always on

even if the signal is off it catches up later

with SEVERAL layers of tracking

not just your phone carrier but Google+Apple stores have your location as the apps are always on in the background

even phone makers have their own tracking layer sometimes

we know EVERY person that went to Epstein Island from their phone tracking and they didn't even have smartphones back then

Flock is just another lazy layer/databroker

There is also no legal "reasonable expectation of privacy" for a license plate displayed on a public road.

I'm fine with license plates being read and parsed. I'm fine with license plates being read, parsed, assessed for violation, and ticketed automatically, or cross-checked for amber alerts. That's literally my line of work.

I want strict, strict guardrails on when and where that occurs. I want that information erased as soon as the context of the citation wraps up. I want every company/contractor in this space FOIA-able and held to as strict or stricter requirements than the government for transparency and corruption and other regulation. I don't want every timestamped/geostamped datapoint of every law abiding driver passing into any juncture hoovered into a data lake and tracked and easily queryable. That's (IMHO, IANAL, WTF, BBQ) a flagrant 4th amendment violation, and had the framers been able to conceive such a thing, they'd absolutely add a "and no dragnet surveilance" provision from day 1.

If that seems hypocritical, my line starts with "has a crime occurred with decent likelihood?" "Lets collect everything and go snoopin for crimes" is beyond the pale.
