Suddenly, drivers find themselves pulled over — often for reasons cited such as speeding, failure to signal, the wrong window tint or even a dangling air freshener blocking the view. They are then aggressively questioned and searched, with no inkling that the roads they drove put them on law enforcement’s radar.
Only solution is going to be to ban the automated license plate scanners; otherwise this is going to keep on happening.
You have the right to remain silent. Use it.
Flock drones and cameras need to be destroyed.
So free travel isn’t a thing anymore?
Hmm. What other historical examples of this are there and how did that turn out?
Yet another thing that’s straight out of dystopian fiction to the point that it wouldn’t surprise me if that’s where they got the idea.

I was pulled over because my license plate lights were out, but I’m pretty sure they just wanted to see who was driving the shitty car with out of state plates through their town. No ticket, no warning, didn’t ask to search the car, just annoyingly nosey.

Sounds great. Too bad nothing like that will ever happen
