They are not license plate cameras stop calling them that you fucking idiots
It's what they are marketed as to the public and there really isn't a visible difference between sending all data to a cloud to proccess license plates vs sending it to a cloud to track everyones movements everywhere.
Just like any camera could be a license plate camera, however most cameras are not linked to a vast network specifically designed to trace identifiers and support soft suppression of individual freedoms. The next tea party is going to look weird.
Yah my understanding is they so sooooo much more than just record license plates
