    These things have been around for like 8 years has the aclu just ignored them until there was some more YouTube videos about it?

      No, they absolutely have not. Do you seriously think the ACLU just sits around waiting for some rando influencer to say something?

      ACLU has been reporting on these for years and years. Probably even before most here were aware of ALPRs! In fact, they wrote one of the first detailed reports sheding light on ALPR, way back in 2013. Link to 2013 ACLU report

      It is much more the opposite way, the youtube videos exist because of work done by the EFF and the ACLU.
