Collecting data/surveillance without warrant or probable cause can be seen as a violation of rights.

Good to know you'd have no problem of me just taking pics of your car out in public. Since your house is out in public then you shouldn't have a problem with me chilling in the street and taking pics of that either.

Why would someone have an issue with that? Thank you for thinking my car is neat.
Iowa is nothing in terms of surveillance compared to larger cities. The phone in your pocket provides more surveillance than these cameras.
Lotta paranoid people on this list. I imagine a room full of little people somewhere feverishly mapping out every single persons every move.
No need. AI will do it quickly and effortlessly. Won't require hours of a person's time to stitch together the mapping.
These things are all over my city (Arlington) now.
Somebody can jump a median and smack into a sign or a light pole, and it will lay there for a couple of weeks before it is repaired. Someone ran into one of these license plate readers at an intersection near my house. It was back up in less than 24 hours. Priorities...
Someone on the CR Reddit created a tracker of all of them around CR. I also saw a video where a large police department used equipment like these to track down violence and shootings in real time.
Pictures of your house are also on the county assessor’s website, free for anyone to see. And that also has your name attached to it.
I’d suggest you stick to private roads if you’re this concerned about privacy.
As far as a warrant, there’s no need as there is no violation by looking at your license plate. If they were using some sort of x-ray technology to see in your trunk, then that’s a violation of your rights.
I know that.
My point is people don't usually like their cars or houses photographed or watched. You see people all the time calling the police because someone is watching a house or a car. And people always complaining about drones flying close to their property.
The worst technology was police scanners. 40 years ago you had 80 year old people with scanners calling police all the time. They knew more about what was going on in your house than you did.
Related to that is people on Facebook blurring out license plate numbers in photographs. Like us regular Tom and Jerry's have access to data via plate numbers.
One poplar car FB page in the Twin Cities has lot's of "look what I saw" images of cars people see around town. Saw images of my neighbors car, a Lamborghini Diablo, and figured I did not need to add to that posting and let people know it was parked in the garage next door. The car's gone and owner is deceased now so no need to come up north to my hood to tray and steal it! That V-12 was pretty cool sounding.
