For decades,\u00a0cars dictated urban planning in the United States<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Few could have predicted that they would one day also double as nodes for surveillance.<\/p>\n

In thousands of towns and cities<\/a>\u00a0across the U.S., automatic license plate readers have been installed at major intersections, bridges and highway off-ramps.<\/p>\n

These camera-based systems\u00a0capture the license plate data<\/a>\u00a0of passing vehicles, along with images of the vehicle and time stamps. More recently,\u00a0these systems are using artificial intelligence<\/a>\u00a0to create a vast, searchable database that can be integrated with other law enforcement data repositories.<\/p>\n

As a scholar of technology policy and data governance<\/a>, I see the expansion of automatic license plate readers as a source of deep concern. It\u2019s happening as government authorities are seeking ways to target\u00a0immigrant<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0transgender communities<\/a>, are already using AI\u00a0to monitor protests<\/a>, and are considering\u00a0deploying AI systems for mass surveillance<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Eyes on the road<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Using cameras to track license plates dates to the 1970s, when the U.K. was embroiled in a long-simmering conflict with the Irish Republican Army.<\/p>\n

The Met, London\u2019s police force, developed\u00a0a system that used closed-circuit television cameras<\/a>\u00a0to monitor and record the license plates of vehicles entering and exiting major roads.<\/p>\n

The system and its successors were seen as useful crime fighting tools. Over the next two decades, they expanded to other cities in the U.K. and around the world. In 1998, U.S. Customs and Border Protection\u00a0implemented this technology<\/a>. By the 21st century, it had started appearing in cities across the U.S.<\/p>\n

There are different ways for a jurisdiction to implement these systems, but local governments usually sign contracts with private companies that provide the hardware and service.<\/p>\n

These companies often entice authorities with\u00a0free trials of surveillance equipment<\/a>\u00a0and promises of free access to their data in ways that bypass local oversight laws.<\/p>\n

AI thrown into the mix<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Recently, AI has been incorporated into these camera systems,\u00a0significantly increasing their reach<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The vehicle information that\u2019s captured is typically stored in the cloud, creating a massive web of data repositories. If a camera collects information from a suspect\u2019s car or truck \u2013 say, one also listed in the National Crime Information Center \u2013 AI can flag it and send an instant alert to local law enforcement.<\/p>\n

In fact,\u00a0that\u2019s a selling point of Flock Safety<\/a>, one of the biggest providers of automatic license plate readers. The company uses infrared cameras to capture images of vehicles. AI then analyzes the data to identify subjects and quickly alert local authorities.<\/p>\n

On the surface, automatic license plate readers seem like a logical way to fight crime. More information about the whereabouts of suspects can potentially help law enforcement. And why worry about cameras if you\u2019re following the law?<\/p>\n

A spokesperson for Flock told The Conversation that their technology has helped reduce crime, including violent crime, in cities that use their cameras, such as San Francisco and Oakland.<\/p>\n

But there are few peer-reviewed studies on their effectiveness. Those that exist find little evidence\u00a0that they\u2019ve led to reductions<\/a>\u00a0in violent crime rates<\/a>, though they seem to be\u00a0helpful in solving some crimes<\/a>, like car thefts.<\/p>\n

Furthermore, installation and maintenance are costly.<\/p>\n

For example, Johnson City, Tennessee, signed a 10-year, US$8 million\u00a0contract with Flock<\/a>\u00a0in 2025. Richmond, Virginia, paid over $1 million to the company\u00a0between October 2024 and November 2025<\/a>\u00a0and recently extended its contract, despite opposition from some residents.<\/p>\n

Erosion of civil liberties in plain sight<\/strong><\/h4>\n

The technology seems to highlight the pitfalls of what scholars call \u201ctechnosolutionism<\/a>,\u201d the belief that complex issues like crime, poverty and climate change can be solved by technology.<\/p>\n

Even more disquieting, to me, is the fact that these camera systems have created a mass location tracking infrastructure knitted together by artificial intelligence.<\/p>\n

The U.S. doesn\u2019t have a federal law like the\u00a0European Union\u2019s General Data Protection Regulation<\/a>\u00a0that meaningfully limits the collection, retention, sale or sharing of location and mobility data.<\/p>\n

As a result, data gathered through surveillance infrastructure in the U.S. can circulate with limited transparency or accountability.<\/p>\n

License plate readers can easily be accessed or repurposed beyond their original goals of managing traffic, meting out fines or catching fugitives. All it takes is a shift in enforcement priorities \u2013 or a new definition of what counts as a crime \u2013 for the original purpose of these cameras to recede from view.<\/p>\n

Civil liberties groups and digital rights organizations have been sounding the alarm about these cameras for over a decade.<\/p>\n

In 2013, the\u00a0American Civil Liberties Union published a report<\/a>\u00a0titled \u201cYou are Being Tracked: How License Plate Readers Are Being Used To Record Americans\u2019 Movements.\u201d And the\u00a0Electronic Frontier Foundation<\/a>\u00a0has decried them as \u201cstreet-level surveillance<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n

A counter-camera movement emerges<\/strong><\/h4>\n

The promise of these cameras was simple: more data, less crime.<\/p>\n

But what followed has been murkier: more data, and a significant expansion of power over the public.<\/p>\n

Without robust legal safeguards, this data can possibly be used to target political opposition, facilitate discriminatory policing or chill constitutionally protected activities.<\/p>\n

This has already happened during the current administration\u2019s aggressive deportation efforts. Automatic license plate reader databases\u00a0were shared with federal immigration agencies<\/a>\u00a0to monitor immigrant communities. Recently,\u00a0Customs and Border Protection was granted access to over 80,000 Flock cameras<\/a>, which have also been used\u00a0to surveil protests<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Then there\u2019s reproductive health care. After the Supreme Court\u00a0overturned Roe v. Wade<\/a>\u00a0in 2022, there were fears that people traveling across state lines to get an abortion\u00a0could potentially be identified<\/a>\u00a0through automatic license plate reader databases. In Texas, authorities accessed Flock\u2019s surveillance data as part of\u00a0an abortion investigation<\/a>\u00a0in 2025.<\/p>\n

Flock told NPR in February 2026<\/a>\u00a0that cities control how this information is shared: \u201cEach Flock customer has sole authority over if, when, and with whom information is shared.\u201d The company noted that it has made efforts to \u201cstrengthen sharing controls, oversight and audit capabilities within the system.\u201d But NPR also reported that many city officials around the U.S. didn\u2019t realize how widely the data was being shared.<\/p>\n

In response, some states have sought to regulate the technology.<\/p>\n

Washington state lawmakers\u00a0are deliberating the Driver Privacy Act<\/a>. The legislation would prohibit agencies from using the surveillance technology for immigration investigations and enforcement, and from collecting data around certain health care facilities. Protests would also be shielded from surveillance.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, grassroots initiatives\u00a0such as DeFlock<\/a>\u00a0have also emerged.<\/p>\n

DeFlock\u2019s online platform documents the spread of automatic license plate reader networks\u00a0in order to help communities resist their deployment<\/a>. The movement frames these systems not merely as traffic technologies, but also as linchpins of an expanding government data dragnet \u2013 one that demands stronger democratic oversight and community consent.<\/p>\n
