@eff There's probably some smart term used in forensics for this, but this is an example of a claim being literally true, but rhetorically bullshit.
For example: If we lived in a police state, crime would be much lower. In fact, that's the logical extension of the claim being made.
I suggest, when ALPR boosters come to your town, you enthusiastically cheer the "police state" that will bring "peace and order" to your town. Be sure to use those terms.
