Home improvement stores are finding ways to share data from their Flock license plate reader cameras with law enforcement, according to public records.
Theft. A long time ago I worked asset protection at Walmart. A lot of times people would get caught only after they got away with it several times. We would find out from a greeter that someone ran out with something. We would check the video, get screenshot, send out alerts to the other Walmarts… The camera footage is pretty important for catching those repeat offenders. Eventually they would finally be recognized while in the store instead of after the fact because of the alerts. I could see AI being an extremely value resource from that perspective while also being extremely dystopic from every other perspective. Such as Madison Square Garden using it to deny entry to people the AI flagged because they’re a lawyer in a case against the owner.
wahhhhhhhh shareholders don’t get their money that they didn’t earn through productive work, how tragic. unless it hurts the employees whose labor was used to make the product, no real harm is being done

The problem is that they need to steal a ton before doing any kind of prosecution or arrest.
We need small consequences for small cases of shop lifting.
shoplifting from corporations doesn’t cause real harm. don’t swallow the boot
It objectively does though
