Yeah, I understand the want/need for these cameras but I would be pretty pissed off if one was basically in my front yard.

From the post:

>Today, the Institute for Justice (IJ) sent a letter to city officials in Greers Ferry, Arkansas, demanding they remove a license plate reader camera that was installed directly in front of the home of Charlie and Angie Wolf. The letter also calls on city officials to not renew their contract with the automated license plate reader company Flock Safety when the initial term expires.
Last year, the city of Greers Ferry entered into a contract with Flock Safety to install five “Flock Safety Falcon” license plate reader cameras around the city. These cameras photograph every vehicle that drives by and analyze the license plate number and vehicle features. From there, the cameras upload the photos to a server where the technology can analyze a vehicle’s trends, for example, how often a certain vehicle is spotted at a certain location.

At that meeting, city officials doubled down on their stance. City Attorney Blake Spears told Charlie: “If you want the camera moved, my suggestion would be to get a court order,” and Police Chief Kallen Lacy added: “We have no plans to move the camera.”

And that's why the aggregate perception of government has been trending unfavorably for many years now. No willingness to work with their citizens, and a "fuck you" attitude to boot. Hope he fucks them hard in response.
