The City of Evanston has shut down its network of automated license plate readers and will end its contract with vendor Flock Safety early after a state audit found the company was illegally sharing Illinois data with federal agencies.

      Having read the article, the ball was already in motion before he released his video, but it was a great video

    There was a push to ban speed cameras statewide in GA this year. It was close, but didn’t pass. I was really hopeful for it because it doesn’t make sense for a lot of reasons as well as being a privacy nightmare for some of the same reasons (it comes down to the private companies that are contracted to do it). Here’s hoping what happened here will cause a for bans in more places.
