US cities are axing Flock Safety surveillance tech...
Yes but you can always leave your phone behind if you want to drop off the map. Flock makes that borderline impossible.

You can remove your license plate, you will get pretty far before it actually gets you pulled over.

Actually, that won’t work. The flock cameras don’t only rely on license plate information. They use “AI” to determine the make model and color of your car as well as any outstanding features, such as bumper stickers or roof racks.

It works if you just add a magnet sticker somewhere when you remove your plate.

Leaving a cellphone behind is legal still. Removing a license plate is breaking the law.
Drawing an equivalence is foolish.
