Anyone might wonder how often they are caught on police cameras that operate 24/7. I spent a day driving, and over a month trying to get the answer.

I live in a rural area and they stated covering the large town/small city in the area with these last year. It started with just a few on choke points in and out of town, but now they have started placing them at various areas in town, including all entrances/exits to Lowe's.

That's funny there's only one in my town, and it's facing the Lowes parking lot.

We have a few around in NW Oregon and they're all in Home Depot parking lots for some strange reason.

They might be tracking the homeless who are living in their vehicles. As well as poor laborers who might be hiring out to do work for cash.

Gotta protect Lowe’s from those immigrant terrorists here to impregnate our women and take our high paying jobs
