Critics argue that this type of surveillance raises constitutional concerns and invades individuals' privacy, as the technology analyzes every car caught by a camera, collecting data on make, model, and color. The expansion of AI-powered surveillance systems without proper legal protections has raised alarm among privacy advocates.
