Let Your Tinfoil Hat Juices Flow: Video Traffic Counter Sighted Yesterday.

[rbeau30]

So I saw something on the way to work yesterday. Near Iliff and Tower, however on a side road just off the intersection. It looked strange. A pole with what looked like a small camera at the top pointed down at the street. It was affixed to a street light pole.

Upon doing some more research it was just like this:


Here is an article about it: http://miovision.com/blog/bcounted-m...ter-challenge/

I would have taken a picture but on my way home 8 hours later it was gone.

Wonder why they are counting traffic this way and not the old way?

I thought it could be one of those Aurora Police License Plate cameras that they say they have but won't tell you where they put them. Would have made sense that they be portable to target a certain neighborhood if they wish.

Probably because the old pressure activated switches that use rubber tubing are always getting torn up. Couldn't have any plows running through the intersection, either.

Ahhhh HA!!!!!!

The manufacturer actually does give them the ability to collect license plate data: http://miovision.com/traffic-data-so...se-plate-data/

Driving past it backwards removes any data collected......... everyone knows that.

The time for tinfoil is long past on that issue. Between your phone and ubiquitous cameras anytime you drive somewhere there is a record of it in multiple places.

I saw those in the 4 corners of your block the other day.

Want some subsonic 22 ammo?

The machine sees everything, knows everything.

Big Brother is watching you.

It's the way they determine whether a traffic light is needed.

You could always make a fake plate of an FBI most wanted, slap on your Prius, and slowly drive back and forth to see what happens. Then you might actually know.

Good idea, I haven't used my pellet gun in a while.
