Automated License Plate Readers (ALPRs) are AI-powered cameras that capture and analyze images of all passing vehicles, storing details like your car’s location, date, and time. They also capture your car’s make, model, color, and identifying features such as dents, roof racks, and bumper stickers, often turning these into searchable data points. These cameras collect data on millions of vehicles—regardless of whether the driver is suspected of a crime. While these systems can be useful for tracking stolen cars or wanted individuals, they are mostly used to track the movements of innocent people.

I think it's odd that a university needs to run nation wide searches. Consistently searching over 90,000 cameras for there investigations is such a overstep of authority. (infosec.pub)

Maybe, but I could see the university pd as a prime org to run your investigations through as a proxy.

They aren't going to be beholden to a city council or anything
