Tennessee congressional hopeful accused of shooting license plate cameras
Cops arrest budding politician for allegedly dealing with Flock's expansion the American way
Adam Lee Heimerman, an independent congressional candidate in Tennessee, has been accused of shooting four automated license plate reader (ALPR) cameras between July 14 and 22. Heimerman, running for Tennessee's 2nd Congressional District, is facing four felony vandalism charges. The Blount County Sheriff's Office alleges that Heimerman targeted three cameras in Blount County and one in Maryville, possibly reaching one camera through a place of worship during a service.
The incident is part of a broader trend of attacks on ALPR cameras in the United States, with concerns over the technology's potential misuse and constitutional concerns.
