That city should just make it legal that the citizens can paintball or spray those cameras anytime and anywhere.

- mbf1 1y agoThis will escalate - every new car on the road comes with a bevy of cheap cameras integrated - I get 360 degree views when backing up from my 2018 Chevy Bolt. It's really only a matter of time before license plate scanning computers get integrated - there's already a cellular modem integrated into the vehicle - I don't use or pay for that feature, but it's an opportunity.

- kotaKat 1y agoThere's already a full cottage market of ALPR-on-cellphone applications. They can just mount a cellphone on the windshield and it's gonna run ALPR all day every day. Same thing with fingerprint capture - they've now just got mobile apps to take a picture of your hands and submit for print processing.

- drnick1 1y agoI unplugged the cellular modem from my car and I suggest you do the same. These days it is basically impossible to buy a car without one, and if carmakers don't listen, we have to take matters into our own hands.
- qmr 1y agoNothing dictates you must own and drive new cars. If you want a new car, I imagine disabling the modem should be trivial. I agree with your comment though.
