Yes, to think that this “sleeping monster” will not be horribly misused by some in the future is totally absurd.
They are already being misused.
My state has a law that specifies they can *ONLY* be used for insurance verification, but law enforcement is constantly using them to solve crimes.
They check to see if a vehicle with the tag number they are interested in has driven past a flock camera, and they look at the people in the car whenever possible.
