LPR's aren't fool proof.Quotable quote: ““The NYPD is turning bad science fiction into terrible policing,” said Albert Fox Cahn, the executive director of the Surveillance Technology Oversight Project. “New York deserves real safety, not a knockoff ‘RoboCop.’”
NYC has 500+ license plate scanners in operation already and 10k+ video cams in subway stations alone.
So....if I read this correctly, only the guilty need to be worried about them?LPR's aren't fool proof.
If you want LPRs to EVER go away, it's tech like this that makes it even remotely reasonable. As much as you may hate them, LPRs are significant in tracking someone who needs to be tracked. I won't go into which agencies would almost be completely shut down, but at least one you want to be effective would move decades back in technique. Abusers should go straight to jail, same with NICS or TECS surfers.
So...um...how do you expect people to find the real evil in our society? Random luck?So....if I read this correctly, only the guilty need to be worried about them?
And the "abusers" you mention....perhaps they should go straight to jail, but, well....there may be some pushback from the ________________
If the LPR systems are at least as secure from abuse as top secret military intel systems, then I’m less confident this week (the Ukraine Leaks thing).LPR's aren't fool proof.

We do just fine in NH without license plate readers.So...um...how do you expect people to find the real evil in our society? Random luck?
I get it, but I doubt you understand just how evil some people are, not in a movie sense, but standing face to face with a psychopath that has killed people.
Yeah but can you get something to launch air tags that also fits behind retractavble lightsCoke Can sized projectile? Apple Air Tags have been around for years and they are a lot more discrete than a coke can.

My point is, this is how it all starts.So...um...how do you expect people to find the real evil in our society? Random luck?

What do they have ? M203 40mm grenade launchers ? Just waitin for some idiot to launch a golden domed one......Coke Can sized projectile? Apple Air Tags have been around for years and they are a lot more discrete than a coke can.
It will take two busts and this article for the criminals to figure out they need to Jack another vehicle to not get caught. Car jackings will probably double.It's just more money spent on stupid shit, that will do nothing to stop crime.
Some cop is going to shoot one of these things,hit a person and kill them.
Airtags have minimal internals, no GPS or even LTE, entirely reliant on the crooks being apple users if continuous tracking is needed.Coke Can sized projectile? Apple Air Tags have been around for years and they are a lot more discrete than a coke can.

When the cops stop following, get out and remove the GPS.It will take two busts and this article for the criminals to figure out they need to Jack another vehicle to not get caught. Car jackings will probably double.

That’s pretty cool. That grapple is bad ass. I have always stayed away from those can cannons due to concerns of legality. Is that a MA complaint upper?Looks like a fancy can cannon
I'd say it really isn't. In reality, all that data gums up the system. False hits, leads to false information. It'd be better if they had to input the plate, with a warrant, indictment or true bill, then record where the plates hit. Maybe that's the answer?My point is, this is how it all starts.
Every infringement of rights, every restriction that the people that are NOT evil have to deal with, was put in place with the same rationale.
Passive monitoring of plates is not all that different from, "Papers, please," on the street, or showing an ID to use a public facility. I mean, if you're not guilty, it's not that big a deal, right?
From the video I posted above and other documents, uses compressed air to launch a 54mm projectile, so more like a fancy T-shirt cannon.Looks like a fancy can cannon
Xproducts can cannon, but they probably cost 15K each.What do they have ? M203 40mm grenade launchers ? Just waitin for some idiot to launch a golden domed one......
Ah Jeez a frikin toy gun. How appropriate.From the video I posted above and other documents, uses compressed air to launch a 54mm projectile, so more like a fancy T-shirt cannon.
They are considered signal devices and not considered firearms. At least that’s until the atf changes their minds again. As far as Mass is concerned that lower is still not capable of discharging a round because it fires blanksThat’s pretty cool. That grapple is bad ass.
