- Gigachad 4y agoThese are being rolled out across Australia. I believe they use computer vision to filter down the data and then pass it on to a human for manual verification. The proof is then a photo of you with a phone in hand.
- dsfyu404ed 4y agoI don't believe for a second that after the initial rollout the system won't be tuned for an "acceptable" false positive rate. Once a penal colony always a penal colony... (Not to say that a large majority of Western European and large minority of US jurisdictions won't try to do the same damn thing.)
- nerdchum 4y agoMaybe in Australia where they had Covid camps, something like that could fly but I don't see that flying in America. they can't make it illegal to check GPS or look at a map or change the radio station and they can't prove you were doing anything more than that.
