There can’t be that many of them around me. My wife failed to renew her state registration for over a month. She ignored the emails because they usually come to me. New car so they went to her.
They're there,
But whether the cops decide to investigate is another matter. They might be tied up with more urgent crimes.
they will be used against you sooner or later.

This is just bad flocking news, no matter how the proponents try to spin it.

Taylor D. Rhodes: Flock cameras are quietly tracking Alabama gun owners
On any given Saturday in Alabama, a man can leave his driveway, gas up, run by the gun shop for ammo, shoot all morning at the range, and be home for lunch. He hasn't broken any law or bothered a soul. And in more of our towns than you'd guess, a camera on a pole photographed his truck at every stop and filed it in a searchable database owned by a private company in Atlanta.
And the record contains far more than your tag number. Each image becomes a searchable record containing the plate, time, location, direction of travel, make, color, body type, and other identifying features. Flock calls this part of their system the "Vehicle Fingerprint," and their own materials advertise the ability to conduct searches using unique vehicle details, including bumper stickers and decals. That matters in Alabama. A Gadsden flag, Glock sticker, BamaCarry decal, or other Second Amendment message on the back of a truck is not just something another driver sees at a red light. It’s now a searchable data point tied to that vehicle, the owner, and your movement.
That should stop every gun owner in their tracks. Alabama law, through Act 2024-232, prohibits the government from keeping a list or registry of privately owned firearms or their owners. Gun owners fought hard to secure that protection. Yet today, Flock has effectively created a searchable, five-year archive showing which vehicles with Second Amendment decals park at gun stores on Fridays, attend gun shows, or regularly visit shooting ranges. It may be built from “license plate photos” instead of firearm records, but for all practical purposes, it’s a hard registry of gun owners.

Alabama has already decided that the government doesn't get a list of its gun owners. It's time Montgomery made it stick. | Alabama News

Someone just needs to hack flock and then publicly release the evidence of a few high ranking party members visiting their mistresses and the whole thing will be outlawed the next day.
There's a flock camera just down the street from me.
Yesterday the pole it was on is leaning at approx. 50 degrees off vertical.
either someone did a shitty job of installation (it's been there for months though) or someone decided they didn't like it and tried to pull it down.

The future is not turning out the way I hoped.
But more or less the way I expected.
As far as I understand, it's a race against time. Supposedly the group/firm/government that first perfects AI will be so far ahead of all others they will be the most powerful force in the world. Second place won't even be close (apparently due to the fact improvements beyond a certain point will be exponential and not linear).
I don't pretend that I even begin to understand it all. All I know is there are a lot of people investing a lot of money and resources that seem to believe being first is the most important thing in the world right now.

"Gov. Ron DeSantis is delivering on a promise to remove automated license plate reader (LPR) cameras from state right-of-ways, with the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) ordering localities to pull the cameras within 30 days."

“I don’t want things that are sweeping up just everyday citizens, and we’re told don’t worry about it. No one’s going to use it. Then come to find out some company is harvesting that and they can make a fortune,” DeSantis said.
FDOT pulls the plug on Flock cameras after public outcry, denunciation from Gov. DeSantis

I want a little laser you put on your shoulder Predator style that automatically finds the cameras and burns out the CCDs.
