YouTuber Says Cops Visited Him After He Built a Flock-Style Camera to Track Cops

A Canadian YouTuber built his own automatic license plate recognition (ALPR) camera to track police vehicles and posted about it on social media, prompting local police to visit his home and question his intentions. The incident highlights the irony that police enthusiastically use ALPR technology like Flock cameras to monitor citizens but are uncomfortable when the same surveillance is directed at them. Sistilli's case underscores broader concerns about ALPR data misuse and the lack of transparency surrounding these surveillance systems.
