Surveillance cameras are an old concern - but Flock Safety A.I. powered cameras are getting a lot of attention because the cameras are purchased by law enforcement, government agencies, privately owned companies and individual citizens; in ever increasing numbers. Flock Safety cameras are designed to provide automated license plate recognition, video surveillance, and gunfire locator system. All Flock Safety cameras can be linked as a network, combining public and private data capture that is searchable, nationwide.

Once you know what Flock Safety cameras look like, you can easily spot them as they are usually mounted in plain view.

 
Burkas and BB guns are cheap. I'm sure the street hustlers can all pitch in.:)
 
I am always hoping that I'm not picking my nose or scratching my balls while on cam.

But it is what it is.
 
This would be illegal, but the idea of designing a cover which would defeat surveillance cameras and traffic light cameras has crossed my mind.

A couple of years ago I was at an attraction outdoors wearing sunglasses with polarized lenses. I walked into a covered area where a normal flat screen TV was playing a video, and I couldn't see the screen-- it looked black to me.

What I was thinking is, could you make a polarized plastic, and then cover your license plate with it? You wouldn't think it was anything unusual, as in normal light you could read it clearly. But if a surveillance cam or a traffic light cam took a picture of your car, the polarized cover would make your license plate look blank, and prevent law enforcement from identifying you and mailing you a ticket for running a red light or whatever.

Just a thought.

I like the idea, it reminds me of custom plates that were coated with photo-obscuring paint that scattered, light making camera images unreadable.

The thought of private citizens mounting cameras around the neighborhood bothers me. The thought that private cameras can share images in a searchable nationwide database bothers me more.

I rather think the solution will be hacking and jamming the electronics that operate the camera, much like the emergency service vehicles are able to change the traffic lights on their route as they approach them.

Years ago, when Gatso cameras were first around, there was a theory that you could cover your licence plate with plastic film and it would prevent the camera from reading the plate.
I don't know if that was just an urban myth

That is another urban myth, at least in the UK.

Wow, never look at Ring door balls on Amazon. They will blow your mind

We have cars in On/tario that use these to avoid photo captures on toll highways and speed traps and they are totally illegal.
 
When you hear a car alarm go off in at nine in the morning do you think "Call the police! A robbery is in progress!" or do you think "What an asshole!"

Maybe fifty years ago the former would be true, but I think today's cameras are beginning to go the way of the car alarm. People are gonna people. They can't possibly be expected to behave themselves 24/7 for the rest of their lives.
 
I received a "Community Enhancement" letter from the Tressa property management group - I live in Building B:


11 JULY 2024

Dear valued residents,

We are delighted to share several exciting community enhancements and projects underway at Tressa.

To bolster security and monitor community activities, we have installed over 300 new cameras throughout, including in the exterior areas and parking garages. Additionally, we are actively working to install cameras in all 5 elevators. The cameras are monitored live 24 hours a day by our support team for enhanced security and safety across the community.

Recently, we've installed new flooring in the elevators, refreshing their appearance. Elevators 4 and 5 will soon be operational again, featuring new COP with vandal-resistant buttons, door edge replacements, and new floor indicators. This work is scheduled from July 15 to mid-August.

Building B is receiving a makeover with new hallway carpeting and the replacement of stairwell carpeting with a more durable, odor-free material. Furthermore, all hallways will receive a fresh coat of paint.
 
Well, so much for my nude walks through the hallways.

Remember, O.B.I.T., 1963, from "The Outer Limits"?
Alien invaders gave humanity a devious spy cam device in the hope we would destroy ourselves - and the invaders take over without firing a shot.
