More ALPR Mission Creep with Rin Alajaji from EFF | Hide & Speak Recorded live

We're diving deep into license plate reader mission creep with Rin Alajaji, Associate Director of State Affairs at the Electronic Frontier Foundation. Brought to you by https://vp.net, the only verifiable zero-trust VPN. Streaming live on September 12 at 4pm ET. Rin read reason fields across millions of Flock Safety search records, and what she found was not the war on crime. It was school residency checks, employment background screening, and noise complaints, running on a nationwide camera network. We get into the search logs themselves, the warrant gap between phone location data and plate data, the scripted vendor pitches city councils hear before they vote, and why Texas and Florida both pulled back four days apart. 🎙️ ABOUT OUR GUEST: Rin Alajaji (Associate Director of State Affairs, Electronic Frontier Foundation)Rin runs EFF's state legislative work on digital privacy, surveillance, reproductive rights, and free expression.
