Another #ALPR company to worry about. #Buspatrol sells ALPR's for school busses to catch drivers who actually break the law. But now they are partnering with #axon to scan ALL license plates for an AI mass surveillance systems for law enforcement.

This is exactly why we need to push back against surveillance systems early. Even if they don't do mass surveillance initially, the line must always go up. They'll never leave that money on the table long term.
