Neighborhood License Plate Readers

[kidicarus13]

I guess the cameras around your neighborhood are utilized to create a data base of all the cars coming and going? I AM THINKING YES
Then that data base can be accessed to trace any particular car? I AM THINKING YES
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

So the old lady that sits in her front window all day moved out?

This is why I always recommend to get on the HOA board.

If you cannot join, you should at least attend meetings.

There are many things that come up in these meetings that no one knows about until they have been enacted. And often there is no recourse.

I think you need to invest in your community. Or a paintball gun...

Castle rock has them. They catch stolen vehicles fairly frequently. Data is live feed and alerts PD of a stolen vehicle detected where seen , PD starts swarming the area.

Usually nets a big drug bust at the same time, go figure.

More and more reason to leave CO, the loss of freedom and privacy is disgusting.

Uh, haven't people been complaining nonstop about car theft being rampant, catalytic converter thieves and porch pirates stealing packages off people's door steps and demanding that the city/county "DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS CRIME WAVE?"

Well, this is "something."

The camera is not video, it is a photo capture per vehicle pass similar to red light cameras. Allegedly, if the camera captures and reads your plate and you are on the white list, the photo and your plate is not retained by the system.

I read the website before I posted. It reads like they are using AI to find patterns and recognize common and uncommon cars in the area. They?re sending data to the police when an unknown vehicle comes in. It wasn?t clear if the company does or the police do, but the system allows searches by other attributes, like the color of the car.

I would want to know if ?whitelist? means that they still keep my data. You alluded to that, but I don?t see it on their website. I would prefer to opt out, as in a way to prevent them from retaining my data or transmitting it to the police. If that?s the whitelist, then I would sign up.

To me, it is one thing to take a picture on a public street. It is a totally different thing to do it every time I drive by and start building a database of the time and who knows what other data. Could this be challenged on privacy or electronic stalking laws?

This is a form of AI, and I believe that AI should be developed and used in responsible ways. Sooner or later someone will challenge this as racist. Before you scream, think about it. If minorities are more often working the gig economy or delivery jobs, they are more often going to be reported as not fitting in or being a suspicious car. If this leads to more arrests of minorities than it does of whites, someone will jump all over it.
