... The predictive intelligence program has resulted in people being stopped, searched and in some cases arrested. A network of cameras scans and records vehicle license plate information, and an algorithm flags vehicles deemed suspicious based on where they came from, where they were going and which route they took. Federal agents in turn may then flag local law enforcement.

Suddenly, drivers find themselves pulled over -- often for reasons cited such as speeding, failure to signal, the wrong window tint or even a dangling air freshener blocking the view. They are then aggressively questioned and searched, with no inkling that the roads they drove put them on law enforcement's radar.

Once limited to policing the nation's boundaries, the Border Patrol has built a surveillance system stretching into the country's interior that can monitor ordinary Americans' daily actions and connections for anomalies instead of simply targeting wanted suspects. ...

So, if you happen to take a back road, AI is going to report you to the police to be pulled over, and possibly arrested, because you didn't take the main route to the destination?

Pres Trump's vision for Making America Great Again,it seems.

@#16 ... And nary a Republican to comment on it, either way... ...

No Republicans, but, apparently a foreign instigator.

@#21 ... AFatPoofter can go ---- off ...

My guess would be, that after the outing of the foreign ~let's call them influencers~ outed by Mr Musk's X platform, we may see a resurgence of older aliases here that suddenly come alive.
