Axon is being sued over its AI license plate reading cameras.
LA recently decided to move forward with installing hundreds of Axon’s ALPRs after it cut ties with the scandal-plagued Flock. Now Axon is facing a class action suit, suggesting people’s problem is less with Flock specifically and more with the AI-powered surveillance state in general. According to Reuters: > The lawsuit, filed on Tuesday in federal court in San Francisco by law firms Hausfeld and Gibbs Mura, alleges Axon has failed to comply with a California privacy provision by not disclosing how it collects, uses and shares plate data gathered through its camera systems. “Axon has created a mass-surveillance infrastructure that is practically impossible to avoid,” the lawsuit said.
