But they want the cameras to always be rolling and reading plates.

"They" in this case is a company called BusPatrol and I think we can be safe in assuming they see this as a source of additional income. BusPatrol is trying to dress this up as protecting children but that is just window dressing.
Everyone is going to be totally shocked, as in shocked when this data turns out to be inadequately protected and turns up in North Korea, Greenland, Venezuela or whoever the next enemy of the month turns out to be. Nobody could have forseen that!

I don't know where you buy your clothes, but mine appear to have been made in S America, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Vietnam and I'm not sure where else. I've had made-in-US clothing before but the quality was pretty poor, probably because they were having to match prices with countries where wages were way lower. I suppose the same applied with clothing made in the UK, although it's been a long time since M+S dropped their "Buy British" policy.

Yea, I have gotten a few of the "I lost my wallet/phone/etc. can you send me xx cash via WU ..." email spoofing scams

I have had two variations of this over the years, in both cases the legitimate senders had lost control of their email addresses after falling for phishing attacks. With their address books Online, what could go wrong? Anyway, what happened there was not what I understand as spoofing.

I had to look "G Suite" up because I had no idea what it was, it turns out that the only component I've ever used is gmail and that became necessary when I bought my first Android device after the "Email of death" killed Nokia's Symbian. I don't actually use gmail, it's the hook used for Android App updates.
Charging for Gmail is unthinkable, that would have so many knock-on effects.

Quoting from the summary above

Which is all entirely pointless churn, and we're making it clear that AI-detected bugs are pretty much by definition not secret, and treating them on some private list is a waste of time for everybody involved — and only makes that duplication worse because the reporters can't even see each other's reports.

My emphasis.

I had a TP-Link device up until around 2019 but then stopped using DSL and had to buy something new, this means I have no idea about their products nowadays.
A couple of questions: are US models different to - say - Canadian or Mexican models? If they are the same, is there going to be a "Greatest wall of MAGAland" to block updates and enforce geo-fencing?
