GTA V mod lets players cash in by destroying virtual ALPR cameras

A WIRED piece reports a Grand Theft Auto V mod, Grand Theft Automated License Plate Reader, that places 235 Flock ALPR cameras around Los Santos. Players can smash these cameras for $600 each, with in-game logging and effects on police response, offering a cathartic take on real-world surveillance and Flock’s deployments, which have faced criticism and rollbacks in several states. The mod is framed as commentary, not an endorsement of real-world actions, and comes as GTA VI looms on the horizon.
