So, Terry stop. He’s got a short haircut which means he might be carrying a gun, so let’s frisk the dude looking for paint at Home Depot.
We should all just get UPC codes tattooed on our foreheads, you can never be too safe, ya know.

Funny thing, one of their common things to do is to cruise through parking lots, especially during things like church services, running tags.
Interesting. What agency have you seen do this specifically???

Nothing new here. Law enforcement and parking enforcement have been using license plate readers for years.

I'm sure their line of reasoning is something like: you have no expectation of privacy in public and if it's legal for them to manually enter your license plate into the system to verify it - then it's fine if the computer mass checks everything.
Ultimately, we're in for a dystopian surveillance hell. Combine this with facial recognition software and soon every moment will be tracked like China:

Short haircut is not a civil infraction, unlike an expired tag/registration.

Had a buddy that got a DWI a couple years ago. He recently got pulled over in the middle of the day and the cop asked him “have you been drinking”? Which he hadn’t, but the cop knew he had a prior. He received a warning for an illegal lane change

Put infrared stickers or coating over the plates

Ha; My neighbor has two crappy work trucks that he drives around in (very poorly too, I might add) and he has not had a license plate on one of them for probably 10 years that he has lived next to me. Guess they can't scan what ain't there . . . .lol

Those machines are supposed to be looking for stolen vehicles. Not supposed to be able to white minor violations using that thing.

We have them here in Florida. In fact they are on the side of the highways etc.

Many PDs run facial recognition software too.

EFF.org About Face
quote:
About Face
Law enforcement use of face recognition technology poses a profound threat to personal privacy, political and religious expression, and the fundamental freedom to go about our lives without having our movements and associations covertly monitored and analyzed.
This technology can be used for identifying or verifying the identity of an individual using photos or videos, and law enforcement and other government agencies can use it to conduct dragnet surveillance of entire neighborhoods. Face surveillance technology is also prone to error, implicating people for crimes they haven’t committed.
It has been well documented by MIT, the Georgetown Center for Privacy and Technology, and the ACLU that these error rates—and the related consequences—are far higher for women and people with darker skin.
Regardless of your race or gender—and even if these disparate error rates were addressed—face surveillance must be stopped to protect our communities.
quote:
Stand with EFF, Electronic Frontier Alliance members in your area, and your neighbors and loved ones, in saying it's time to end the creep of face surveillance into our communities. It's time to stand up for civil liberties and public safety, and against the chilling effect face surveillance imposes on our free expression.
Join us in this fight. Sign onto the About Face commitment to ending government use of face surveillance where you live. Let your local representatives know that we need a course correction now—before it's too late.

They’re always looking ways to “get” ppl.
The biggest problem I have with cops is their propensity to plant evidence and civil asset forfeiture.
Both should be illegal yet they do it with impunity.

I want to back the blue and all that, but they sure make it really hard to a good portion of the time.

What “rights” are they violating? Just curious. If you say privacy, that right is being violated every time you’re on your phone or computer. They are harvesting your information constantly. That should be a crime.
There may be an argument if they store your location and time stamp which is effectively tracking which may be a violation. If they are scanning, they are absolutely saving that data. It’s too “valuable”, to just delete.
