In Camden, NJ they use high-tech cameras, microphones and AI to do Minority Report level "predictive policing." They monitor and record all pedestrian and automobile traffic to create profiles to predict who is most likely to commit crimes and where those crimes will take place.

From a report in the Atlantic in 2013:
quote:

One hundred and twenty-one cameras [200 cameras as of 2021] cover virtually every inch of sidewalk here, cameras that can spot a stash in a discarded pack of Newports from blocks away. Police have a giant 30-foot mobile crane called SkyPatrol they can park in a neighborhood and essentially throw a net over six square blocks; the ungainly Japanese-robot-style device can read the heat signature of a dealer with a gun sitting in total darkness. There are 35 microphones [70 microphones as of 2021] planted around the city that can instantly detect the exact location of a gunshot down to a few meters (and just as instantly train cameras on escape routes).

All Camden County patrol cars are equipped with cameras that automatically take pictures of every single license plate it passes on the road ...scanners that read license plates and automatically generate warning letters [for people who are in areas at suspicious times].


From Business Insider in 2021:
quote:

As we walked inside the Camden County Police Department's multimillion-dollar command center, wall-to-wall monitors showing street corners from around the city covered the perimeter of the room.

The command center is the department's crown jewel. In fact, there are no less than 90 centers like it across the country.
Camden was a test market. The goal is to implement this technology all over the country.

The flock camera my HOA put in is pretty much pointed at my house being the first house in the only way in/out of our neighborhood. Sometimes I forget about it at night when I'm in the driveway...someone has access to video of me smoking a bunch of weed

The readers cost 2,500 each.

There are 61 intersections in just Cobb County that have readers.

In 2019 (probably more now) the city of Atlanta read 29 million plates in June alone.

99% of the intersections I drive through have them.

It is widespread.

I challenge you to look for yourself. My eyes have been opened in the last two weeks just driving through my area.

As is Bossier Parish in La. - via 2015 legislation, sold as a tool to "fight uninsured motorists" and "lower auto insurance rates." They think we're idiots because the goal is to grow the system into what you quote above.

Do they all have a solar panel on them like the one in the pic? They appear to be relatively low to the ground too - not up high on a traffic light.

Yeah, so I don't know that there is any proof they have or reduce crime. Most criminal don't know or don't care (usually the latter).

But I do know they are very useful in solving crimes. So for that, I'm kinda ok with it.

A lot of voters are in fact idiots.

Look at the "Well, it does some good" type comments in this thread.

They have the ability to type your license plate into the data base and see every intersection you have been on, the date, the time and direction of travel during the last two years.

I had no idea the level we were being surveilled.

I have some bad news to tell you about your smartphone.

Yes, real terrorists too

Also IIRC: it is not allowed on driving records. So what happens if you don't pay it?

Red light camera tickets aren’t treated as moving violations. They’re like parking tickets, so if you go back into the same municipality with unpaid tickets they can boot or tow your parked vehicle.

But as a previous poster wrote, those aren’t the same as plate readers.

Rankin County in MS has had plate readers on the bridges coming from Jackson for years.

Those are "most intersections?"

Are you saying it was the LPR's on intersections that read those plates? You do know every LE vehicle is equiped with them correct?

LOL!

I sold ALPR for years and I don't have to "look" for myself.

Got em on repo trucks as well. As they're driving down the road, they constantly scan and compare to a database of cars out for repo. It dings, they turn around and follow you waiting to leave your car.

Made their lives a shite ton easier. I didn't realize how big surveillance was until we contracted with a major collection agency. Even if they don't pass you on the road, they just input your tag number and get real time info on where you are.

I put 12 out for repo and had 7 picked up within 2 days.
