I bet there are people on Fedi who know lots about:
#Rekor, a competitor of Flock in the traffic/speed/red light camera space
#PlateRanger, the license plate tracking platform where (some of?) Rekor's data is available
#SoundThinking, the company that runs PlateRanger. It used to be Shotspotter.

I would like to follow these people, so if you are one of them or if you can think of one of then, please say so 🙏
