Is there an easier way to make this statement?<p>So did we kill a legislation that would have blocked Police license plate readers and Flock?<p>Or because the legislation is killed, we can block Police license plate readers and flock?

Good riddance.<p>Just yesterday, flock helped police catch a dude who shot two women and was on the run <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.sfchronicle.com&#x2F;crime&#x2F;article&#x2F;napa-road-rage-shooting-22280791.php" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.sfchronicle.com&#x2F;crime&#x2F;article&#x2F;napa-road-rage-sho...</a>.<p>There&#x27;s no expectation of privacy on public roads, but there <i>are</i> angry people behind 2 ton death machines.<p>&quot;Kill switches&quot; are too much, but license plate readers are not.
