    I love the part where the scumbag CEO call people terrorists for pointing where his cameras are.

    Maybe I’m missing something but when she welcomed me to the world of automated licence plate registration, it’s old news to me. These systems have been implemented across the world on local levels for decades, I have no doubt there’s illegal data retrieval from these systems by law enforcement and intel agencies.

    What even is “Parallel construction”?

    Not to mention GPS built into newer cars, accessing the mobile network where every single cell allows for triangulation. And personal phones. And facial recognition. And door cameraes. And so on.

    This battle was lost 20 years ago, regular people are just too demoralized to care if it’s done out in the open now. As always, the best time to adapt was 20 years ago. The second best time is now.

      I think its moreso how these cameras don’t just use OCR based plate recognition, but build a profile on your car, you, and your habits. Which, as far as I’m aware, is the first time this has been automated and been so easily spread among others.

      Also, I don’t think its a bad thing to get more people talking about this. The more people are aware, the better; as far as I’m concerned.
