>>28984258
Bait or retard? These systems log information and create profiles based on it. It's not just a video recording there to be accessed when needed, it's logging data on you specifically and saving a child database on you specifically that can be accessed whenever for whatever. Not even remotely similar to a simple security camera archiving video.

They are already causing problems with circumstantial and/or incorrect "ai" analyzing even in their infancy. Le heckin slippery slope goy

They legally cannot without a warrant. But they can pay for “independent” companies to do the surveillance for them. Much like how Five Eyes countries spy on each other’s citizens and “share” the info to bypass not being legally able to surveillance your own citizens.

These are used to catch a lot of criminals. If your house or car gets broken into, police can use it to see what vehicles were in the area. It's led to a lot of suspect leads and arrests in my experience.

I think this is one of those things were you don't even know what they're actually being used for. The government does not care when you go to the grocery store. It's not tracking you, it doesn't have the capacity to track everyone. I'm one guy responsible for securing a beat area of 30,000 people. I can't watch all your property at once. This is a useful tool, though it's up for debate whether it's worth the perceived privacy invasion.

Big data isn't buying that info, they don't have access to databases to see who those plates are registered to. Only law enforcement agencies have access to see who the plates are actually registered to. Their business model is having private entities host their cameras for a fee paid to them, and then sell subscriptions for the plate hit data to law enforcement agencies. The LEAs then use it to track stolen vehicles and other crime suspects.

The data is limited to plates only for the most part. It uses AI to guess what the make and model of the vehicle are, but it's almost always wrong so that's a useless feature (meaning it can't track vehicles with their plates covered or removed, and even so it just tracks a vague description ie: gray Toyota went southbound on this street at this time, along with a photo). It's honestly pretty shitty and jeet coded. Motorola has their own cameras too, it's not just Flock, there are multiple companies selling that type of service. You also have to consider boycotting the companies that allow them in their parking lots. They're all privately hosted afaik.

This is just to give you a glimpse of what it does on the LE end. I've used it to find home burglary suspects and people with warrants, and not petty misdemeanor shit. If you want them banned in your locality you'd have to petition and bring the issue to your city/county council. Understand a counterargument will be made because they are useful in solving crime. Paranoid schizophrenic delusions of self-importance may not be enough to sway the community.
>>
>>28984701
They are not tracking you specifically, no one is. There's no "list" of 4chan users. There are no lists at all anywhere. There are only active investigations, and you're almost always contacted if you're under one, or would know because you're up to some shady enough shit to attract LE attention in this shithole society where they're so far stretched. I'd be more worried about being a drug dealer and being tracked. You don't have shit to worry about. I've posted borderline terroristic threats on 4chan for decades and have never failed a background check.

So you're not being targeted, they're just recording in public, which is legal. You know all those first amendment auditors that have been screaming that for so long? That was all a setup to get Flock cameras allowed. Now the government has tons of precedent cases to reference when you whine that filming in public shouldn't be allowed.
>>
>>28984768
This will be difficult for a welfare baby cop to understand, but I don't give a fuck about solving petty tweaker crime or catching people driving to work with a suspended in exchange for normalizing a constant gray area warrantless surveillance precedent.

>>28984773
Nailing you for your dumb 4chan posts isn't worth enough to them to expose their power level. Do you understand how cheap it is to store data like this? Why *wouldn't* they keep it all? Then when they do have a reason to fuck you over someday they can run a search on you and instantly have a list of every time you scratched your ass in public in the last ten years.

Data corporations do not have a way of running your plates. If I check a Flock camera hit, it gives me a plate, I then have to run that plate in our separate state DMV database which is only accessible to DMV and law enforcement. I can't even see who's driving the vehicle, the recorded pics are nowhere near that high quality. Big Data might have access to your social media posts to run your face against a database and find out who you are. They do not have access to the DMV database to run your face against those photos and find out who you are. Again, even if the camera captures a smudge of your face, it's not even going to be useful in identifying you. That's how low quality the photos are.

I understand still it's RECORDING YOU IN PUBLIC (which according to 1A auditors e everyone has the right to do) but your concerns are over the top. It's shitty technology that's a one-trick pony. I'd be more concerned with store surveillance cameras which get a good look at your face, which can then be cross referenced with social media pics. They can't get shit from your car or if you have no social media, unless they have access to DMV records, which would be really fucked up and that's what you'd need to make a case against. If private corporations have access to DMV databases, that shit needs to be addressed and stopped. What's currently happening is they're just filming in public which auditors have already won lawsuits confirming it's legal, so they kinda already fucked us...
>>
>>28984768
>The data is limited to plates only for the most part
they store people by their appearance, and people can be searched as well in the database. it tracks everything
>>
>>28984776
Ok but an auditor can stand outside and film people coming and going everyday and use those recordings for whatever purpose? A company is just doing the same thing in a more competent scale, and then if the government requests the data they can have access to it. Just like seizing the auditors camera as evidence if it had useful info on solving a crime.

Schizos already fucked themselves on this one.

>>28984784

Every vehicle that passes one of these cameras has its information logged in a searchable database. This includes your plate number, obviously, but also the visual characteristics of your car as determined by a computer vision algorithm. Make, model, body style, color, # of doors, any stickers or markings, etc.
>>
>>28984807
>Make, model, body style, color, # of doors, any stickers or markings, etc

No, just the make and color, and it gets it wrong half the time if not more. Meaning around 50% of the time it gets the MAKE wrong, the big logos on front and back of the cars, and the color which should be easy enough. The program is jeet coded garbage, you're way too paranoid about it when it doesn't do shit. Just get a remote controlled license plate cover, wear a mask. Stop being a pussy. Being tracked is a choice.

you not having access to the inner workings of the Flock software suite is the same as a bank teller not knowing all the ins and outs of all of the banks dealings.

Recently (as in yesterday) they flagged a guy giving a middle finger for further investigation.
