This specific community has lit me up for pointing out how shitty these scameras are to the average citizen. It’s a revenue driving privacy invasion. Fuck speed cameras forever.
No kidding. Yes, let’s install cameras that can identify and record every license plate (and face, too, if the camera has resolution for one it has resolution for the other) that passes them.
Surely our government will not use this capability to track the movements of its political enemies.
I’m confident Oakland’s notoriously honest and professional police department will not use them to harass whistleblowers and stalk the estranged spouses of police.
And of course it’s overly paranoid to imagine the “third party vendor” processing all this license plate data could be hacked or compromised or sell the data to other entities.

Not to mention when they’re in error, it’s your word vs. the bot’s.
