How to Protect Yourself From AI Facial Recognition! #lawyer #police
The short version: A lawyer's tips on limiting facial recognition exposure are useful, but they can't touch the automated, infrastructure-level tracking Flock cameras perform on every driver.
Our Take
Hampton Law's short is a solid reminder that every photo you post is a data point feeding facial recognition systems, and Jason Killinger's advice to think twice before oversharing is sound, practical counsel. But it's worth naming the limits of that advice: you can control what you post, but you can't opt out of driving down a public road that's been quietly wired with a license plate reader.
That's the gap we focus on. Facial recognition needs images to work with; ALPR networks like Flock Safety don't need you to post anything at all. They log your plate, your location, and your travel patterns automatically, continuously, and often without any public notice that the camera is even there. It's a different flavor of the same problem this video is warning about — algorithmic systems built faster than the legal framework meant to check them, and the Fourth Amendment scrambling to keep up.
Individual privacy hygiene matters, but it's not a substitute for knowing what's already watching you on the ground. Check our camera map to see what's tracking your commute, and hit take-action if you want to push back on the infrastructure, not just your own digital footprint.
