    The cameras don’t run automatic license plate reader (ALPR) software, though.

    This seems totally meaningless if they are collecting the data, they can run whatever software they want on it whenever they get around to it.

      Correct. Just like the Flock cameras that “do not identify individual people” but actually do contain the software and stash the raw images for processing faces and identifying features.

      You’re getting so close: this is by no means exclusive to the GOP. Look at all the fascist shit Newsom is doing in supposedly progressive California.
