		<description><![CDATA[The benefits of automatic license plate readers outweigh the dangers, Richard Hanania argues: There are now around 120,000 Flock cameras in operation across the US. These devices automatically read license plates and make their locations available to law enforcement. Flock now also makes it possible to look up cars by their descriptions, rather than just [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Rafael A. Mangual argues that the pushback against Automated License Plate Readers (ALPRs) is misguided: One company, Flock Safety, has become the movement’s primary target. Flock cameras, like other ALPRs, capture information about vehicles—not the people inside them—as they pass. They record license plates, along with details such as a car’s make, model, color, and [&#8230;]]]></description>

The years 1914 to 1989 mark the age of mass politics, when politicisation was high and institutionalisation was also high – so people engaged with politics electorally and on the streets.
