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’ve already heard of the name before, I know them for their police body cameras. One can make an argument that Axon’s systems don’t have the same extensive and interconnected surveillance network that Flock has, but the same type of data on people’s personal lives seems to be collected for a similar end-purposes which is the problem, more than the specific brand of the tech.
Plus, what’s stopping Flock from acquiring Axon and obtaining the data that way?
