A Canadian engineer built a low-cost license plate camera aimed at police vehicles, the same ALPR technology (like Flock) used to track the public. When he shared videos of the project, two officers from Peel Regional Police showed up at his door, raising concerns that logging their cars could reveal routines and patterns. Sound familiar?
