The National Week of Action Against Automated License Plate Readers is an opportunity for all of us who oppose surveillance to stand up together and say no! DeFlock has received an overwhelming response to the call for a Week of Action as thousands of people, from coast to coast and across the political spectrum, have already registered.

I can't believe there are demonstrations. Every time I have a conversation with someone about privacy, they just drool and their eyes gloss over. I did convince ine guy to change one habit recently. Guess I'll take the win.
