In other places, people have done all sorts of legal things in front of ALPRs, from presenting them with a steady stream of license plate photos of law enforcement vehicles from out of state, to putting on plays, dance performances and other forms of entertainment in front of them and then submitting FOIA requests for the footage since they’re being consumed (indirectly) by the government. In states that have actual privacy laws, people are requesting all information Flock has on them from the company in order to verify that it is accurate. In some places, they can even require removal.

That must be a real headache for anyone who knows someone with the last name Epstein, even before you get to people who have that name themselves.

Seems to me that it’s time for the rest of the world to invalidate US IP and go from there.

They haven’t been removed from the community though — just the maintainers list. Now they need someone else’s review to commit code to the kernel.

Personally, I think even maintainers should be required to have that — you can be the committer for pre-reviewed code from others, but not just be able to check anything you want in, no matter your reputation (even if you’re Linus). That way a security breach is less likely to cause havoc.
