Mass Surveillance to Stop... Loud Music?

Across the country, surveillance companies have spun a vast web of tens of thousands of license plate cameras. Known as ALPR networks, these are mass surveillance systems that allow police to track your car's every move. The people selling this tech want you to believe that it's for your safety, but how are authorities really using license plate readers? Over the past year, we've learned that license plate readers have been used to surveil protestors and immigrants and even investigate abortion. New information, however, shows that police are using this powerful surveillance machine for just about anything they please. And their next search could be to check if you live in the right school district or to track your noisy car.
