Floxk AI is a startup that apparently runs highly suspicious police data collection services. As a fun bonus, it sells this data to private bidders and retains no liability for any mess-ups.
Apparently, it uses a Bluetooth system to relay some of this information. And seems to generally have awful security...
The real scandal seems to be the use of data brokers' data, re-selling/owning the data collected from publicly funded cameras, and also using bluetooth and ostensibly other outdated security.

The scandals you mention have been reported on in depth by 404media, which has led to state and congressional investigation. A Google search will provide technical details about their cameras and the Android/hardware stack that operates them.

for such a well-documented repo, the complete lack of sample outputs is surprising.
I don't want to run the code, just show me some perturbed plates!

Any thoughts? Or further projects on this?
