I have a post on a video report of Flock Automatic License Plate Reader cameras being put up all over the nation, and how it’s an incredible violation of the privacy rights of citizens to freely travel without being surveilled. Looking at the site referenced, deflock.me, I’m picking up a theme of liberal cities being big adopters of the technology. And per the map, our trips to Fort Collins and Loveland are well covered. And other than one highway in the east, the city of Jackson seems to be a big adopter of the technology in Wyoming with none spotted so far in Cheyenne. Similar ALPR cameras are on law enforcement vehicles, repo tow trucks, toll locations… and I believe I saw an article that FedEx was going to add them as well. Consequently, the digital Panopticon is being built around us with impunity. Even without phone and vehicle GPS tracking, a database of your travels are being recorded.
