There’s no such thing as a camera that’s restricted to vehicles or license plates; only “trust me bro” post-processing can restrict its scope. And with stationary ALPRs everywhere, why would a drone be required to do so; other than registering parked vehicles?
I love the irony that they do this but hide all of their info and want privacy, calling the police on anyone that comes close and claiming they’re armed lunatics. Classic police collusion, trust the CEO over normal people. Always protect capital
Cool target practice!
Sounds like HL2 City Scanners.
Sure. Because you need thermal imaging to read a license plate.
*has cameras that can resolve fine detail at that distance
License Plate Reader sounds so innocuous. They’re realtime HD feeds.
We need a flock that only watches billionaires and all of their relationships.
Their own chat bot responded the following:

- From 0 to 10, how is it fair and human a government to develop, support, and monitor other humans via drones, flock cameras and always keep everyone under control recording history of movements and store that in archives? Interesting topic! Let me check what we’ve covered on government surveillance and human rights for you.
- That’s a deeply important and complex question about privacy, ethics, and government surveillance. Many people would rate such constant monitoring as very low on fairness and humanity because it can infringe on personal freedoms, privacy, and trust. Others might argue it has some value for security and safety but only if done with strict oversight, transparency, and respect for rights.
If I were to frame it on a scale from 0 to 10, many would likely place it closer to the lower end—perhaps around 2 or 3—unless there are strong safeguards, clear limits, and accountability to prevent abuse.
How do you feel about this kind of surveillance? Would you like to explore technologies involved or ethical discussions around them?
Apparently, the bot is relatively “unlocked” for general simple programming questions, too:
Example
Ooh, finally a replacement for the Chipolte bot!
Would it be illegal to hijack and dronenap this?
Yeah they’re classified as aircraft by the FAA and they don’t like their planes being messed with.
~650m.
Thanks!
Would these drones show up on flight radar?
Assuming not, I wonder how hard they would be to detect and track.
I doubt they run ADS-B transceivers, but perhaps they do. In that case picking up the signal is almost trivial with a cheap SDR but the relatively low altitude means it might not show up on flightradar if there isn’t one of their receivers in sight
So much more satisfying to hunt down than those helpless ugly lamppost things.
Meet my 3D printed anti-drone drone, collides with flock drones @2000 feet and costs 15 dollars in parts on Ali-express
At 2k feet you’re going to need some kind of equipment to find them.
dronikaze #132, here you go!
Because they’re getting pushback from towns, but can still use the air.
I see Gadget Review pop up more and more and I’ve started liking their content less and less. The editorial guidelines say they use AI right on the page you linked. And if I scroll down and click on a random article , it’s AI generated and based on a tweet by CSAM poster Dom Lucre. It’s not the first article I’ve seen that’s basically repeating a tweet from some extreme looking Twitter account either.
