Hey, it's Sid. I need you to see this, because it's about all of us. The federal government has built a "precrime" system for the highway. No warrant. No suspicion. No crime. Just an algorithm deciding you look wrong, and a stop happens. Here's how it works: license plate readers and financial-pattern algorithms flag drivers before they've done a single thing wrong. And they are coming after our people. Legal cannabis workers, forced by federal law to run in cash, get flagged by these same "suspicious financial pattern" algorithms — punished for a cash economy the government itself created. They're being watched by where they drive and profiled by their own bank records, for doing legal work. And the system is garbage. License plate misreads run as high as 71 percent in real municipal audits. An "O" mistaken for a "0" turns into a felony stop on an innocent person. Run the math and it comes out to 77 innocent drivers pulled over for every one real hit. The officers doing these stops will tell you themselves: 9 out of 10 find nothing. They hide it, too. The algorithm's tip gets passed to a local cop through a group chat, and the cop pulls you over for a taillight or an air freshener — so the real reason for the stop never has to show up in court. And your local traffic cameras? Default settings let federal agencies search all of them, no permission asked. Over 83,000 cameras, used to track a woman for having an abortion. This isn't safety. This is a surveillance net, and cannabis people are caught in it. The courts are starting to fight back — the Supreme Court just ruled this kind of tracking needs a warrant, and more than 30 cities have already torn up their contracts with these vendors. So this is the moment. Watch it. Share it. Tell everybody you know who drives for work. We protect our own. That's what this is.
