- AlecSchueler 1y agoYou probably get a visit from the police.
- nancyminusone 1y agoThere's no need to. If the unit is older than a few months, you'll find that the speakers have already been perforated. This usually doesn't stop them from working, because people don't break the voice coil at the center.
- Aurornis 1y agoWhile being recorded from 6 different angles while standing next to your vehicle with a license plate on it? You get arrested. That’s what happens. Kiosk makers have already thought of all of these possibilities. There isn’t a nicely exposed speaker. It’s behind a metal plate with tiny holes in it.
- marssaxman 1y ago> You get arrested. That’s what happens. For petty vandalism? That seems like an expensive overreaction. Perhaps it depends on your demography.
- immibis 1y agoPeople get arrested for petty vandalism all the time, even if they didn't petty vandalize. The police won't bother to track down who graffitied your fence, but money-making companies are a different matter. And it definitely depends on demography. I assume they're still using it, but maybe they just plug everyone's face into Palantir now.
- marssaxman 1y agoMaybe cops are different where you live, but here in Seattle, I cannot imagine a crime so trivial as "someone broke the speaker on a gas pump" ever rising high enough on the SPD priority list for anyone to lift a finger about it, no matter how well-documented it may have been. It would not surprise me to hear that someone had committed a crime of that scale while being watched by an SPD officer and still gotten away with it.
