Axon Is Another License Plate Surveillance Company

Some municipalities are replacing Flock license plate readers with Axon camera systems, but both platforms capture extensive personal data beyond license plate numbers. Switching vendors does not meaningfully reduce the surveillance capabilities or privacy exposure that citizens experience.

Why it matters: City planners and civil liberties advocates evaluating license plate surveillance systems should recognize that vendor changes alone do not address underlying privacy risks, as multiple commercial systems collect comparable personal data.
