This is the same mentality behind return to work and the refusal to consider the four day workweek. It’s the same thing being work requirements for gov benefits. It’s just counter productive policy.

Being forced to stand for no reason is demeaning and stupid. Having worked retail for over a decade with differing standing policies, I know you aren’t getting the best service when the employees are forced to stand.

This mass surveillance tech is unconstitutional even if it’s used “properly.” Unsurprisingly, though, it’s often abused. Here’s our tracker of just the reported incidents of ALPR abuse: ij.org/the-ij-datab...

The Institute for Justice has cataloged more than 200 incidents of ALPR abuse, including romantic stalking, wrongful stops and detentions, non-law enforcement use, and other types of misconduct.

five steps: First, surveillance cameras across the state and
country recorded license plates and logged when and where cars went.
Second, analysts and anonymous tipsters flagged ordinary travel, like driving toward the border and back, as suspicious. Third, Bexar County sheriff's deputies invented a traffic violation to justify pulling over the flagged driver. Fourth, deputies pulled drivers into their front seats, interrogated them and asked consent to search their car. Finally,

The tip reached Bexar County through a group chat on WhatsApp, a private messaging app, called the

Deputy Babb testified the information came from a man he knew only as "Kiki," who Babb believed worked at a federal fusion
center in Laredo. To make the stop, Deputy Babb parked on the shoulder, waited for the truck, followed it, and eventually stopped it. Babb said the reason for the stop was that Alek had drifted across the fog line on the road. Evidence shown at the trial showed Schott

You should care, I don’t trust the government to use such data responsibility, and the evidence seems to back me up. But what is the difference between surveillance and data mining except who controls the data? It’s not ok for either private or government entities to index your life.

Too many conflate the two, Florida removed ALPRs in the state and everyone said it was banning Flock, too. But the issue is warrantless programs that track individuals in public, regardless of the method or company used.

Looks like you are missing a few pieces, like the battery and physical key. The key can access the car via popping off part of the handle to physically unlock it. Then these units have an NFC chip that will start the car if you hold it in the right place, usually the steering column.
