nullagentFedEx trucks are deploying license plate reading cameras and feeding the data right to the cops. These cameras are powered by Flock's ALPR technology.

sidereal@nullagent They have money to equip their trucks with this, but still no AC for drivers though! They need a union

Gabriel Pettier@nullagent yeah, the point about data storage is so clear when you think about the size of a plate + gps coordinates + timestamp, is what, 64 Bytes? That video is at least a few hundred Megabytes, enough to store tens of millions of such records, and that’s without compression. Storage is only a problem if high res video records of all these cameras are kept forever, but even then, it’s still a problem of the order of magnitude of youtube.
If privacy is a right, it’ll need fighting for.
Corvid CroneThis reminds me of how my best friend and I growing up would jokingly refer to FedEx as Federal Executioners 👀
LukefromDC@CorvidCrone @nullagent I guess this will really put the "Fed" in "Fedex" if the data gets forwarded to the FBI by local cops
Jeremy Kitchen@nullagent @kf should be feeding the license plates of fedex trucks parked in bike lanes to the cops

What's the point? The cops can see the plates; they're parked right behind them.

CreatorDon@kitchen maybe stop using their PLATES ( system ) ?
Do your own research!
@creatordon I have no idea what you’re talking about?
@nullagent So the cameras come from Flock? FLock lost a lot of cameras to our fighters in Atlanta's Weelaunee Forest. Maybe time to start targetting them nationally
