Automatic License Plate Readers powered by AI record the make, model, color, and other identifying features of any car that passes them regardless of whether the driver is suspected of a crime. Primarily used by the police, these cameras allow for survellance without a warrant, a violation of your civil liberties with a history of abuse leading to profiling, wrongful arrests, and stalking, despite the fact independent research suggests they do not effectively prevent crime.

DeFlock does more than just run funny adds. They educate about, map, record news of, document abuse of, and help you plan routes around Automatic License Plate Readers among many other tools on their website.

The National Week of Action Against ALPR's is August 16-22, 2026.

Mass surveillance doesn't equal safety. Join the movement to dismantle automated license plate readers in our communities.

A few months before he passed away in 2003, a 74 year old children’s television host sat down in the same studio where he had filmed 895 episodes over 33 years and recorded one last message. It wasn’t for children. It was for the adults who had grown up watching him.

Fred Rogers hosted Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood on American public television from 1968 to 2001. For over three decades he walked into the same set, changed into a cardigan and sneakers, looked directly into the camera, and spoke to children as if each one of them was the only person in the room. He never raised his voice, never talked down to his audience, and never rushed a single moment.

In that final recording, he looked into the camera one last time and said “I’m just so proud of all of you who have grown up with us. And I know how tough it is some days to look with hope and confidence on the months and years ahead. But I would like to tell you what I often told you when you were much younger. I like you just the way you are.”

He passed away from stomach cancer on February 27, 2003. He was 74.
