Automated License Plate Readers ALPR

I'm amazed ALPR doesn't get any coverage or hate. It is without a doubt one of the most powerful and scary technologies widely in use today. Your every move can be tracked, recorded, and used, and is. The data collected can build an entire profile of your life. Work, home, shopping habits, and more. Law enforcement and federal agencies use it constantly and no one seems to care or even know.

Based and redpilled

Assuming you are carrying a phone you are already tracked and your conversations sold to advertisers.

I first heard about these years ago being used to scan parking lots for cars with warrants on the owners

People spend money to be tracked with their iGoy

Any card with a chip too.
I lost my phone. Not getting another one, and I use an RFID blocking wallet.

Same here, although it has grown to way beyond that. Almost every intersection has an ALPR system now and every police car. They are capable of reading and sending data on thousands of plates per minute, and they do. I recently saw just how pervasive their use is and it is terrifying. They had entire people's lives mapped out, purely from this one technology.

If they showed this on mainstream media then people might actually move against it. Better to let it fly under the radar so it can have a history of use and therefore becomes foundation of the bureaucratic police surveillance state

they do it with everything i do on my computer, who gives a fuck where you go with your car, they could already track using your phone

Drove next to SAPD running one of these and almost every other car triggered a hit and he finally pulled one over with a list of hits.

Privacy is a myth.

I can counter measure any and all of this shit.
its not hard

>what is GPS
inb4 muh '76 F-250 has no GPS
you still own a smart phone

I'm a city near me, it's been so effective that police have to prioritize the hits that the computer registers.

seems a little obsolete given that can track us and even listen to us with our (((smart)))phones

I thought the same thing, until I just worked with some detectives and saw it first-hand. This shit is way more instant, accessible, and powerful. Phones and GPS are definitely used, but they require a lot more effort and access. ALPR is always on and the software side that maps and tracks things is unreal.

explain

>not buying a new beater every year and leaving the license plate attached
>not selling the old car for cash to illegals as-is

Bump.

Simple can of spray shine clear high gloss acrylic paint DEFEATS this tech. The high gloss reflects the scanners beam. Truckers been using that and or couple pcs of clear fishing line to outsmart the toll booths.

Leo can adjust sensitivity for the crimes they want to seek out. Obviously minor infractions would set it off like crazy. It's a logistics thing user. Think about how many people are on earth same thing with security cameras it's mainly just used as evidence after the fact, can't go after every one and if you aren't doing anything you have nothing to worry about. Just conform and be like the rest of us npc's

Any electronic device records everything you do.

>The high gloss reflects the scanners beam
the entire point if for the beam to be reflected retard

Tow companies use them to find cars that are in repo status.

Its actually a pretty good gig.

My friend int TX couldnt get a job anywhere because of domestic violence rap. So he drove a wrecker. Flat bed F450. He would get a call from the car with the ALPR as to the location of a vehicle. Run out and tow it. The yard charged the bank ballpark 500$ for the tow.

Imagine dropping 7 grand on the ALPR. 43grand on the wrecker.
Thats 50grand. 100 tows pays its self off. 1 tow a day and in less than 4 months its paid off.

ofcourse its powerful in a land filled with obese fucks using their cars to literally get everywhere.

they are not just on cars, they are at on ramps and all over the place. last year they found this dude lighting fires in cali based on his movements tracked by ALPR

It’s almost impossible to get away with crimes these days. Every house has a doorbell camera that cops access regularly too. Can see your vehicle driving by and establish your location. Just don’t commit crimes

In theory that nice, but, there are more than a few LEO that ABUSE their privilege. Ive know ALOT of cops , locals and State Police that Totally Abuse their snoop tools. I know 1 Trooper that makes the rounds at several of the area "No Tell Motels" then uses the who's banging who info to his advantage.

Couldn't this still be overcome with a powerful IR light on your plate?

it has to be an rfid chip. the little square gold chip can't be read remotely. your card will have a little antenna symbol on the back if it's rfid.

You have a problem with this you are in for a rude awakening. They are going to use those cameras they installed everywhere to make sure no human will ever drive again.

I take the bus, so there

Driving is a privilege, not a constitutional right.

The government has been far too lax and passive when it comes to the roads, from excessive speeding to distracted driving, tens of thousands of Americans have died from drunk driving, tens of thousands of Illegal 3rd world trash driving around without licenses, without registrations, and without insurance.

Fucking Leaf every time. REFLECTED BACK SCATTERED UNREADABLE.
Try this dumb fuck , take a picture of youself in the mirror WITH THE FLASH ON. Geezuz glaciers arent moving fast enough to wipe out leafs

Technology improves
They're using cameras with OCR now

lol

>lasers and camera flash are the same thing
>license plates are not embossed
why the fuck do you think the secondary component of a laser sensor is a reflector? are you genuinely retarded?

Very True. Ask any cop what happens to the illegals they catch driving with no license.
NOTHING . They dont even ticket them any more. Becsuse they NEVER show in court and when they do the liberal Democrat judge just lets them go. No loss of license because they NEVER have one ,
No fine , no prison, no ICE , NOTHING HAPPENS. But you & I get fucked.
Laws ONLY apply to Law Abiding Citizens

Fuck off with your defeatist cuck bullshit
>they already track you, what's it matter, just submit to zog already
>if you're not doing anything wrong, you've got nothing to hide
Kys

this, welcome to the post war, post crime society where technological security serves as a deterrent on every scale from nukes and MAD to this ALPR and similar technologies. of course this really only applies to people who are smart enough to perceive it and thus has the hilarious unintended consequence of perpetuating a pattern people often call institutional racism

from what i read they use a camera and OCR; not lasers.

>license plates are not embossed
they really aren't embossed

Kys

Okay bud rip off your license plates and go for a cruise, just leave this board

even worse then. I suppose the only way to obscure your plate then would be with a bunch of IR lights around it

Stamped, the letters are still raised in a relief, semantics

Just wait until he finds out about the ai that analyzes his face through his camera.

>they really aren't embossed
Depends on the state. Some are stamped, some are printed.

not what he said

GPS isn't actually very accurate. Yeah it could track your movements when you travel through the country, but in a densely populated urban environment it's not nearly accurate enough to deduce things like shopping habits from. An automated plate reader will know exactly where you were and when, because the location of the reader is obviously known to the one doing the surveillance. As for smart phones, the data from the accelerometer in it could, at least theoretically, be used to make an extremely accurate record of where you've been and when.

>An automated plate reader will know exactly where you were and when
doesnt make sense unless you have those readers every 5 meters

it doesn't need to be accurate, like e.g. GLONASS, to track your every movement
its about where you are, have been and when
how do you think google traffic works
just lots of slow moving phones

Fun fact: They already do this by tracking the ID from your car's bluetooth with receptors placed in traffic lights.

not just your face, gait recognition, voice, breathing, your body heat, there are even systems that can distinguish you based off of your unique vascular structure. biometrics are one of the fastest growing and best funded fronts in modern technology. pretty soon you will not be able to go anywhere without being documented or identified

or busy times

Fuck you
It's exactly what he implied

stop projecting onto every single post you angry retard

>Driving is a privilege, not a constitutional right.
actually access to common modes of transportation is a right

Checkpoints, you nigger. It gets you and the system notes that you were in the intersection of 6th street and 12th avenue at 12:30:14AM because that's where the sensor was at the time. You don't need to put them every 5 meters to have a fairly comprehensive idea of when and where citizens have been out and about. And given the fact that there's more accurate and more ubiquitous sensors everywhere it's not hard to imagine a future where big data will be used to create a panopticon. It's kinda here already.
Pretty much yes. It's all about capturing "the whole haystack" and figuring out where the needle is afterwards. GPS is just one part of it, and it probably won't even be very important in the near future.

Policing is a symptom of systemic civilizational failure.

Illegal in many states to obstruct your license plate in any way

laws cannot exist without violence

KYS bootlicker.
Next thing you know, they'll ban cash; forcing people to be tracked for the (((greater good))).
The alphabet agencies are a cancer to this world. We need more people like pic related.

No one is saying that laws shouldn't be enforced, just that a society that can catch EVERY criminal EVERY time wouldn't be a free society, or a fun one to live in.

i use the term GPS rather loosely
it can be anything to track your location
including the three nearest cell towers and basic trigonometry

Well, that's understandable. Naming every technology that aids with identifying and tracking people would take far more than a thread on a Laotian brick laying forum.

I hope no anons are dumb enough to have an iGoy. The only thing dumber than my phone are the people who own smart phones.

there's known counters to this

either hair or clearcoat spray
just don't get caught
at least here tampering with a license plate is considered forgery of a legal document

Something tells me you dont know anything else about this

>Law enforcement and federal agencies use it constantly and no one seems to care or even know.

Worse. Third party private companies drive all over constantly building data bases. Then they charge local government access to the data base. Cop pay and get a list of where and when a car is for the last year. This way they know your schedule right off the bat and pick when to make their move.

how does it work?

reflects the light so it cant read the plate?

well, faggot, next time dont allow a president to pass something as bullshit as the patriot act, or let the dick head after him let all the spooks share with one another, or how about 60 years before that, you dont let some crippled commie faggot turn your country inside out to protect a bunch of other commies and socialists over in europe. thanks for nothing democrats

Seen one of these in an unmarked car. Didn't know what it was until now. I thought it was a dash cam but it was much larger and had infrared Leds.

Well it’s better than having officer fatass manually type shit in while he’s driving

I only spend money on an iGoy every few years because every other phone, especially Android, runs like absolute dogshit.

Germanon, or anyone else ITT for that matter, can you please explain how this works? Sounds like something that could be very useful.

A Republican passed the Patriot Act which you were ranting about. Why do you boomerpost unironically?

yes
it basically makes the camera "blind"
cheap version of a photo blocker

Thank you

How is it any different from police recording your license plates normally?

Britain loves ANPR cameras

First I'm hearing about this

I rarely carry a phone with me. When I do, it's off in case of emergency. Should I take the extra provision and remove the battery as well when I have it?

youtube.com/watch?v=x68OPsbCKlA

In maybe 20 or 30 years we'll have the tech to make sure you can't get away with many crimes. The criminals shall have the early years of their life taken away from them. Every corruption shall be exposed. We already have the tech to see through walls, nothing will be a secret from big brother in the future. Inversely nothing will be a secret from the people, dirty business deals will be recorded from outside the room.

It's used to track illegal immigrants and felons, stupid honknigger. If you weren't such a trashhonk, you wouldn't care.

dhs.gov/sites/default/files/publications/privacy-pia-cbp049-cbplprtechnology-december2017.pdf

you could always keep it in some sort of Faraday sleeve or some shiett

Better to keep it wrapped in metal somehow. Easier to take it out of a metal box or wrapper than reinstall a battery.

Yeah right, that will be the same day Hillary goes to jail. Stop expecting technology to save you

This.
Panopticon is bad enough, but abuse is much worse. Power corrupts, and this is powerful shit.

We're already working on the tech.

hometips.com/buying-guides/thermal-imaging-camera.html

Yes, and even if you can counter an IR ALPR for now they will develop visual ALPRs that work as well as the human eye, so that if a human can read the plate the machine can read it.

>Your every move can be tracked, recorded, and used, and is
So it's like a smartphone, only it is limited to tracking people in cars?

Yet people are fine carrying a device with an always-on front and rear facing camera and microphone, a device that that also records and shares their location in their own homes and monitors all contact they have with the outside world and all financial transactions?

Neat.

You can turn your phone off, and you can even put it in a metal box. You can't drive with a concealed license plate.
Put simply, you can opt out of phone tracking. You can't opt out of license plate tracking.

Somebody here mentioned that it is possible to create sound from the electrical wiring in a house. Something called ELF irc. anybody knows this? It was mentioned in the thread about the laser to ear sound

>You can turn your phone off, and you can even put it in a metal box.
But then it is no longer a phone, it is justa $900 vanity object that you locked up in a metal box because you are afraid of it. Isn't that worse?

Personal property tax, insurance required on all registered vehicles (until plates are turned in). How would your idea work considering these things?
