Comment by Chad Marlow

Senior Policy Counsel at the American Civil Liberties Union, focused on privacy, surveillance, and technology issues.

[...] The AI-empowered mass surveillance of every single American isn’t an ALPR product defect – it is its most prominent and intended feature. [...] The time has come for Congress to ban any law enforcement entity who receives federal funding from using ALPRs. And this prohibition should be without exceptions.
