The ACLU said Monday that US police combine automatic license plate readers with AI tools to stop drivers flagged for "suspicious" travel patterns, even when no specific crime is suspected. In one case, Grace Knowles was stopped during a road trip and shown a map with her plate photo and movement data. The report does not give how widely the practice is used or what happened to her case.
