🚨 If you drive in America, you’re being tracked in a giant dragnet. 🚨
Surveillance company "Flock Safety" has quietly deployed over 100,000 automated license plate readers (ALPRs) across 10,000+ US communities.
These aren't just capturing license plates, they're creating complete "vehicle fingerprints" including:
- Bumper stickers 🚗
- Luggage racks 🧳
- Dents & scratches 🔍
- Timestamped GPS locations 📍
