Sounds like the same thing one or two cities in Texas put on the trash trucks. Giving addresses a blight score and sending citations for things like trash and broken down vehicles.

I don’t think people realize how widespread this is already. Look up Samsara. A shitton of work trucks/municipal vehicles already have cameras.

Can’t hide behind “it’s a private company surveiling you” when it’s mounted on federal property
…
I’m currently waiting in the break room of the S&DC I work at waiting for a truck. I was supposed to start work 35 minutes ago. If USPS doesn’t have the budget to hand me a 40 year old LLV then I don’t think they’ll have the budget to put cameras in all of the fleet. Hell, I can’t even get a Duck and the parking lot is full of them.

Its website says Next Base’s cameras record in up to 4K, and can capture every “license plate” with precision. The cameras don’t run automatic license plate reader (ALPR) software, though.
But the servers do, that goes unspoken of course.

The thing is, you don’t need an “ALPR” system on the vehicle. That can be done remotely after the fact. My point is, it’s worse than you might be thinking.

I’m aware. As I said in the linked comment, I’m more concerned about the data being collected than I am about being recorded.
In the long term people need to control the collection and use of the data and establish some significant penalties for misuse. It would be nice if, in the US, we could establish that any data gathered by ALPRs is covered under the 4th amendment and require a warrant for starters.
I also think the data should be required to be stored by the government agency utilizing it, no third parties.

So the know the daily movements of anyone who speaks out against them.
They will slowly boil into acting on it, but god damn are they setting the stage.
Couple this with the fact that soon the only computing devices you will be able to buy are low memory tablets and other walled-garden locked down tech devices dependent on the cloud.
One bad tweet against Emperor Musk or Demigod Trump and they’ll fucking destroy you by cutting off your access to pay your bills.

That would require them to look forward or backwards, at all. The Texas trash trucks with this shir have them mounted to the side. Because they’re intended to find issues they can cite your property for violations and score your neighborhood like an HOA Karen would.

Pretty soon it won’t just be dogs attacking the mailman, poor bastards.
