Original title: "Police searched Twin Cities license plate cameras for immigration enforcement during ICE surge"

We are technically searched the very moment you pass one. And I don't mean in way of an operator querying a database, I mean automated searching. Which somehow can completely bypass 4a protections. The very existence of a hotlist means the system must search me for a match each time. This is unreasonable and obnoxious and makes me not enjoy driving anymore.

I can't tell if the Flock hysteria is a red herring. I feel like it's a distraction. There are camera lights all over NYC watching me. Everyone has a Ring camera, don't they sell data to 3rd parties? My cars connected services sells my data to law enforcement, insurance etc. Edit- I also saw Tucker Carlson do a podcast against Flock. But this guy is in bed with Palantir. Isn't Palantir spying on us also? I'm so confused. This feels like lets sacrifice Flock so the peasants think we did something about privacy and surveillance even though it's barely a drop in the bucket.
