Isn't it LEO that's deploying most of these systems? At least around here, *MOST* of the motorola cameras I see are on public roads / traffic signals. Bit of google shows EFF and other orgs FOIA-ing various counties in CA and a lot of them got federal money for their police to install them...

- FireBeyond 3y agoLook at Flock Safety for a private company doing this with private entities and sharing the results with law enforcement "partners". "Now, you go from a crime in progress to instantly find the suspect when you search by: Visual Evidence - Vehicle make, type, and color - License plate (missing plate, covered plate, state of the license plate) - Unique features (roof rack, bumper stickers, and window stickers) - Contextual Evidence Timestamp - Number of times this vehicle has been seen in the last 30 days - Associated vehicles" "Neighborhoods and businesses can download vehicular evidence, get a case number, and give it to the assigned detective. Vehicle data and license plates are the most requested piece of evidence. If a known stolen vehicle or wanted person enters the community, local police will instantly get an alert on their cell phone or laptop. Up to 60% of stolen vehicles are associated with additional crime." "With the Flock Safety network, your [law enforcement] agency is not limited to cameras you own — connect and collaborate with adjacent agencies and nearby privately-owned cameras in neighborhoods to extend your reach and multiply your search capacity."
