Particularly egregious in the United States, where they have such a strong monopoly.
And also why supporting independent shops directly is SO important.

Except… whoopsie daisies, Costco is selling you out to ICE by having a partnership with Flock cameras.

Not all ALPR systems are Flock. Any source that they turn shit over to ICE? Or did you just notice they use ALPR systems in their privacy policy?
Ive been to their stores and seen flock cameras. Flock Cameras all look the same. Flock owns the rights to all footage recorded by these cameras, and have been known to share the footage with ICE, regardless of the contract they sign with whatever organization
edit: also worth mentioning, even if there are other Costcos with a different ALPR system other than Flock, most ALPRs on the market for enterprise/localities are trying to be flock.
