“No they just need to go. If it exists it will be abused and the abuse will be covered up by all parties. End the surveillance state.”

“No ALPR device should retain or transmit surveillance data after that info is compared to a legitimate blacklist. It should be, read plate, compare, if a match then transmit, if not delete. All done in milliseconds”

“Fuck this tiptoeing shit. It’s not about flock, it is about ANY PUBLIC SURVEILLANCE SYSTEM collecting data or EXISTING in the first place. Jesus fucking christ, get mad, get LOUD, and most importantly, stay informed. Axon needs to be the new front and center until a total cultural disdain for surveillance (in of itself) is achieved. Do. Not. Stop.”
