the Flock employee described the sorts of information the company will supplement ALPR data with. The first is data breaches.
That illegal obtained data, so illegal to use. They just admit to crime?
- A funny loophole. The person who stole the data did a crime.
  Now that the data is public then it is free game because it is public information.
  
  Windows XP sourcecode leaked 2020. Wine not touch it because illegal.
  Same on nvidia leak by lapsus$.
  
  Because the source code is copyrighted, the fact that userA has an email address userA@gmail.com isn't copyrighted and so companies can ingest that data into their databases.
