A new kind of license-plate-reading camera will also scrape the smart devices you take with you, and wrap all that data in a nice little bow for law enforcement and the government.

    I’m not buying that they can scan pet chips. I think that requires closer proximity than their devices can get. At some point, we ought to just buy high powered jammers that only activate when the scanners are around.

    On the othet hand, its still an issue that we can’t address issues faster than they enshittify.
