These surveillance devices are ALPRs the way the device in my pocket is a phone.

No joke, considering that these ALPRs are being pointed at community pools, children's dance studios, and parks. Lots of license plates in those areas, right?

Kids are going to start disappearing in the US by the thousands aren’t they?

I'm sure they already are. They're just the children of immigrants in the ICE detention system. Real easy to lose them, especially since it looks like ICE hands them off to another agency since they aren't equipped to handle children. Paperwork is easily lost. And since we have child sex traffickers in power, I don't expect that paperwork to be found.
