-      Automated License Plate Readers (ALPRs) are cameras that capture images of all passing license plates, storing details like the car's location, date, and time.

     <h2 class="display-2 mb-4">The Dangers of ALPRs</h2>
     <p class="px-6">
-      ALPRs are a threat to your privacy and civil liberties. They're regularly used to track everyone's movements without a warrant, probable cause, or reasonable suspicion. Law enforcement agencies use them for various purposes, including <a target="_blank" href="https://www.404media.co/ice-taps-into-nationwide-ai-enabled-camera-network-data-shows/">ICE raids</a> and <a target="_blank" href="https://www.404media.co/a-texas-cop-searched-license-plate-cameras-nationwide-for-a-woman-who-got-an-abortion/">tracking abortion seekers</a> across state lines.
+      ALPRs are a serious risk to your privacy and civil liberties. These systems continuously record people's movements, often without a warrant, probable cause, or even reasonable suspicion. Your driving history is rarely confined to the town or city where the cameras are installed. It's typically shared with <router-link to="/what-is-an-alpr#faq-transparency">thousands of other agencies nationwide (secretly)</router-link>. Once the data is out of your community, you have no control over how it's used or what rules apply. And once this kind of tracking infrastructure exists, there are no guarantees it will only be used against criminals.
