People who have consistently downvoted my comments critical of the USPS doxing you at every turn, and allowing businesses to cheaply spam you:

The cameras don’t run automatic license plate reader (ALPR) software, though.

This seems totally meaningless if they are collecting the data, they can run whatever software they want on it whenever they get around to it.

Correct. Just like the Flock cameras that "do not identify individual people" but actually do contain the software and stash the raw images for processing faces and identifying features.

What do you mean "tried"? Cities are implementing that unilaterally. It is already here.
