Rather than get rid of ALPR cameras entirely, many cities and towns are switching to Axon, whose cameras can be mounted to an existing streetlamp, helping them blend into their surroundings.
I was poking around to read about this, and it looks like Axon is leaning into this. Flock used to brag about Axon lacking in this capability, now Axon brags about being local-only.
But who knows, maybe they become a market leader and the feds push them to develop a national network in the future.
Agreed. This could be a slippery slope. That said, I don’t know how the network and local data governance systems work. It could be designed in a way that makes a national network difficult.
That said, I’m not a fan of surveillance cameras everywhere. It’s too hard to know what is happening behind the scenes.
Maybe.
