Automated License Plate Readers (ALPRs or LPRs) are AI-powered cameras that capture and analyze images of all passing vehicles, storing details like your car's location, date, and time. They also capture your car's make, model, color, and identifying features such as dents, roof racks, and bumper stickers, often turning these into searchable data points. These cameras collect data on millions of vehicles regardless of whether the driver is suspected of a crime. These systems are marketed as indispensable tools to fight crime, but they ignore the powerful tools police already have to track criminals, such as cell phone location data...

"Do right until the stars fall!" is what evangelist Bob Jones was known for saying. In the Bible, the book of Daniel, chapter 3, tells the story of prideful king whose wrath was kindled because 3 Hebrew boys refused to bow down to his image. They did right even though they knew the consequences of being thrown into the fiery furnace. In the 2026 Kentucky Primary, Congressman Thomas Massie knew what the consequence might be for not following President Trump's edicts, but Massie did the right thing anyway. He didn't waver...nor did he ever during his 14 years in Congress.
