Direct action, of course, is one way to deal with this. On the electoral front, I will move to terminate and block all Flock contracts with Shelby County. You want to run an ALPR in your own space? Fine.
But we're not going to pay to violate your privacy, enable ICE, and enrich robber barons.

Police will constantly say that alerts from technology are treated as just a "tip" and require further investigation. But then, police detain a family at gunpoint after an ALPR alert because they have the same license plate as the vehicle they were looking for--a motorcycle from a different state.
