SFPD “cracking down” on dirt bikes

you compared public photography with burglary, unless you are confused you're a troll

Not sure what you're talking about. In essence, yes I am discussing illegal acts being illegal and technology does not change that, people do.

But let's not forget what topic we are discussing and what I said about it... the IT being the police installing the camera system and using as they are...

Hmmm, but seems there is something way back in history about Governments monitoring and keeping records.... somehow it's like technology erased the criminality of some illegal acts...

I hate that.

And your point was something about technology being a barrier to not conducting illegal activity...

it's just that today its super cheap and super easy to take a photograph of every plate you see. that wasn't the case even 10 years ago. let alone 100+ years. so this wasn't even thought about when crafting laws.

and also - how would you even go about restricting this? public photography is not illegal, this is 1st amendment. short of making it super expensive again somehow - it's a done deal.

In case this did not come across, there is a difference between citizens taking this data and analyzing vs. the governments. Flock is doing this because of a government funded program. They certainly aren't doing it for free...

Hmm, I hadn't heard about these cameras. I guess folks are already up in arms over the potential (or actual occurrences of) data being shared with the feds without proper procedures which I would guess would be a warrant.

People are up in arms? Potential?

I'm thinking a drone to follow everyone, but that would be silly...
