Does anyone else have these in their neighborhood or subdivision?

My first thought is big brother but maybe I am being paranoid. I have an oppertunity to white-list each owned vehicle and that's the direction I'm currently leaning towards. Am I missing something that I haven't considered? I would appreciate any thoughts or personal experiences of any members.

Are you part of an HOA or something?

Are you part of an HOA or something?

Yes but I wasn't aware of the cameras until after installation. Allegedly camera/plate data only accessible to LE and no one else (i.e. HOA Board).

Do your HOA bylaws allow for 24 hour monitoring of your whereabouts and your daily routine?

I'm sure the system is being sold to the residents as a safety feature.

I don't understand the question.

You have these cameras in your area and someone is asking you to identify your vehicles?

These are newly installed and I am asking the group if anyone has any personal experience with them or can think of any reason the benefits may outweigh the potential detriment.

I guess the cameras around your neighborhood are utilized to create a data base of all the cars coming and going?
Then that data base can be accessed to trace any particular car?
And, is it your HOA paying for that?
Is the crime rate really that high?
Israel has tracking like that and I am guessing that a lot of communities probably do too.
Big brother is watching you.
Then, inevitably, there will be unauthorized usage and releases of information.
I certainly would question what liability the HOA has and what you as a member have when the data is misused.

And, is it your HOA paying for that? I WILL HAVE TO CONFIRM THAT BUT NOT SURE WHO ELSE WOULD.
Is the crime rate really that high? RELATIVELY NON-EXISTANT

If the data is only available to LE, then why do they need you to whitelist your vehicles? Shouldn?t LE be able to look up registration and see which cars are owned in the neighborhood?
