One officer would absolutely not be able to record on that piece of paper every single license plate that passed through a busy intersection. Not even close.

The number of officers that _would_ be required to do so would absolutely be "outside the realm of possibility" for even a well-funded police department.

That's why flock is different. It's a level of scale that was previously—despite your assertions—impossible.

The constitution does not really care about scale, though, and that’s my point. It’s a reason why the legislature should care about Flock, but not why the judicial should.
