Flock, which has license plate readers (LPRs) all around the country, wants police to be able to “jump from LPR to person,” according to leaked audio obtained by 404 Media.

    A funny loophole. The person who stole the data did a crime.

    Now that the data is public then it is free game because it is public information.

        Because the source code is copyrighted, the fact that userA has an email address userA@gmail.com isn’t copyrighted and so companies can ingest that data into their databases.
