I guess I just assume these days that if you’re outside, you’re being recorded. Can someone educate me on the specific issues with Flock that other companies don’t have?

From the deflock.org site, “ALPRs are a serious risk to your privacy and civil liberties. These systems continuously record your movements without a warrant, probable cause, or even reasonable suspicion. Your driving history is rarely confined to the town or city where the cameras are installed. It's typically shared with thousands of other agencies nationwide (secretly). Once the data is out of your community, you have no control over how it's used or what rules apply, leading to instances of misuse.”

What misuse are we concerned with? Can anyone provide any actual uses or just theoretical, “they are tracking me!”

Of all the data being gathered, is it being used? Would it be ok for someone to take photos of cars in public? From various places?
