| >That information is also accessible by looking at the parking lot with your human eyes. There's a blindingly obvious and enormous difference between some random joe the doughnut-grubbing cop watching a Home Depot parking lot to see if certain cars enter it, and digital license plate surveillance data on all cars entering said lot being constantly mass-sent to some federal or corporate-federal database for correlation with reams of other data shared by these same companies and other sources. Guess where the latter can indeed easily lead? To exactly what you dismiss. |

After cell phone and internet carriers, retail financial providers, social media, data brokers, and AFRs and ALPRs from retail and commercial security systems will inevitably lead to for-profit intelligence fusion, especially when many $10B's of paramilitary/intelligence budget go shopping. |

| If there was a cop at every single parking lot, every single checkout lane, every single on ramp and offramp, watching everyone's front door at all times, it would obviously be a police state |

| If you've seen what ICE has done so far, and the "promises" made by the current regime, it's all valid to worry about unless you fall into the protected class of being a White Multi-Generational-Resident Evangelical Male. That's not hyperbole, that's their goal and they're saying the quiet parts out loud now. |
