If we're going to talk about ALPR cameras in relation to child safety, consider the following: • Gun violence is the leading cause of death for kids and teens. • On average, the data from vehicle driving past a Flock camera is stored longer than a gun background check. • You legally need to identify yourself as both the driver and owner of a vehicle, but not a firearm. • If you privately sell your car, you need to transfer the title. Privately selling a gun does not come with this responsibility. • There are laws requiring your vehicle to meet modern safety standards, but not firearms. • Vehicles that take up 2 lanes are illegal, therefore not manufactured. In most places anyone can legally buy extended magazines without showing ID. • You are required to pass a basic aptitude test to legally drive a vehicle, then you must have core liability and injury insurance. None of these things are required to own a firearm. This is why I cannot take the argument for "Flock cameras at schools" seriously. We know EXACTLY what legislation would make children safer. But instead of having that discussion, we focus on spending taxpayer money on the promise of potentially tracking vehicles AFTER they've harmed children. So no, you don't get to have it both ways. You either make sacrifices for the purpose of child safety or you don't.
