Privacy groups warn that flying plate readers could expand surveillance far beyond roadside cameras.
If they only go 60 they ain’t catching up to me 🤷♂️
60 as the crow flies is faster than a faster car on a road
Actually, it’s slower. The world is round, so the further you get from the ground, the more distance you have to cover to reach the same spot.
Who said I was on the road?
Lol fair enough
there are many ways to counter these
Awesome gif, what show is this from?
It’s hilarious how toxic the replies are, Lemmy users are out here trying to fight
what
Small chunk of Lemmy users are mentally ill
The voices in my head said you don’t know what you’re talking about …so take that internet person
Lol, I encountered that. I had a user say we both don’t know what we are talking about
what are you referring to???
Think in gonna pass on this thread
A machine is being built, designed to stamp on a human face forever. We have to strangle it while it’s still in the cradle.
The window is closing rapidly
AI bros who don’t take “no” for an answer are the same people as cops are the same people as rapists are the same people as republicans are the same people as pedophiles are the same people as bots pushers are the same people who fucking ruin everything
It’s the “I know better than you” people
Yup. They’re all over the perv-glasses threads telling people they have no right to privacy and it’s no different that a cell phone camera. meanwhile, they’re posting upskirts and downshirts, stalking videos, harassment, outright racist hate shit, all recorded with their cute lil fuckin perv-glasses.
And meta keeps putting facial recognition shit in the APIs but denying it.
the sad part is, they could be great tools for the disabled, but a bunch of shitkids have already ruined that use because meta wants profits more than helping people or -haha- letting people have privacy.
2A TIMEA
You can build a net gun to disable these without any of the 2A paperwork. All you need is PVC, net, a sprinkler valve, and a blow gun (the kind you use to release compressed air). If you can build a potato cannon you can build a net gun.
That gonna cost so much money to replace
Much harder and much more illegal to interfere with a drone; I’d be shocked if these needed replacing due to vandalism at all, let alone as frequently as people take out terrestrial Flock cameras.
IDK I got plenty of 338 ready to go 🤷
dam tahs fukin tuff
Ahhhh, there’s ways to take out drones without anyone noticing. My favorite is a microwave Canon and the drone will fall out of the sky onto hard ground.

Either you’re a super-genius that has worked out a cost-effective widely-adoptable anti-drone technology or technique that simply hasn’t occurred to Ukraine/Russia/USA/Iran/Oman/Saudi Arabia/etc…
…or you’re just a person on the internet with an inflated ego.
I know which one I think is more likely, especially given you weren’t able to differentiate between “Canon” and a “cannon.”
There are devices like that, but no civilian is going to have access. There have been pictures of secret service or other protection details at public events with one individual having an electronics device in hand.
Yeah I think drones used for war is different than a flock drone. Also Russia and Ukraine have destroyed drones in mass via jamming. Why drones have fiber optic cables now.
I’m pretty sure drones get destroyed all the time it’s just that there’s a lot of fucking drones and I don’t think the militaries of the world are opposed to sending 50 drones to have 1 hit the target.
Yeah you’re overestimating the amount of effort it would take to thwart 1 drone.
Also I got more ideas microwave Canon is the most fun

For no apparent reason.

And you think fiber optics are somehow impossible for law enforcement to deploy for what reason? Not to mention that has nothing to do with your Canon strategy, so goal-post moved successfully I guess.
Also I got more ideas microwave Canon is the most fun
I’m sure you have plenty of ideas. I’m less sure that most or any of them are worthwhile - at least as far as drone countermeasures go; if they were, you’d be far too busy making tons of money selling such equipment to the aforementioned countries.
They need a reason to be different? Kinda getting desperate.
Yeah I don’t see fiber optic being useful for flock cameras because well a car can run into the fiber optic cables and either pull it out of the drone or the operator using it. And it’s liability let’s say you they land on a power line and get fried or short the grid.
Could you imagine winding up a fiber optic cable every time just you use a flock camera? Yeah your gonna use the wireless model.
My ideas are probably already implemented. Either because I got them from someone else or I got them from an existing technology.
If anything I’m importing the ideas from Russian war
They need a reason to be different?
Yes, they need differences to be different. Sorry if that doesn’t make sense to you.
Actually I do think it would be difficult for cops to use fiberoptic cable for the stated reason of being a speed trap. Militaries don’t usually clean up after themselves, but having miles of fiberoptic along the expressway is probably dangerous and definitely littering. Not to mention they would have to be constantly purchasing more fiberoptic just to read license plates.
Military use is expendable, domestic use needs to be reusable.
I think you’re assuming the police would use the drones to kamikaze blow things up, leaving the fiber-optic behind.
It feels like death will soon be better than existence.
That’s until the invent the Great Nexus and make death another advertisement billboard.
And thats when we have nothing to lose. We free ourselves or die trying.
“When death is no longer the worst alternative, there will be revolution.”

Great, now I need an AA gun on top of my car.
I have an umbrella from Japan that doubles as a sun shade so imma keep saying umbrellas. plus, I’ve never seen a male presenting person use a parasol.
Ooh good point, there is a huge market for tacticool parasols just waiting to be explored.
Pretty soon they’ll just have drones in the air monitoring large public events. Then smaller events. Most definitely any kind of protest.
Technology is advancing faster than the ability of our aging, decrepit electorate to regulate it.
Big thanks to all the leftists who stayed home because their local Democrat wasn’t left enough for them.
Big thanks to the Democratic party who will only run genocidal neoliberal ghouls.
Found the “accidental” MAGA-enabler!
Nope - the MAGA enablers are the party leaders who will not run or support candidates who are not genocidal neoliberal ghouls.
What’s the point in beating MAGA with a genocidal neoliberal?
“What’s the point in choosing to eat sand instead of poop (especially when not voting to eat poop means eating poop will be less likely to be one of the choices)? They both taste bad, so we may as well flip a coin.”
Police drones have been in use for many years for crowds
You missed jpreston2005’s entire point, possibly intentionally for a chance to virtue signal.
I genuinely don’t see what point I could have missed, they said drones will be used for something, but drones are already in use for that very thing.
Pedantically, yes, they should’ve mentioned drones have already been used.
More to the point, the vast majority of their comment highlights the bar is getting lower and lower for what drones will be used for.
Like how nsa and the spying was real since Snowden leaks.
…but it’s going to be worse.
Sometimes I wonder if social media was specifically funded by the FEDs to datamine. They spent years manipulating people and collecting data, and now they are building data centers and applying software to profile people. It seems clear they will use hardware for policing on a new level, as well as move from the police force to ICE. These new drones and flock style ai monitoring is like the datamining of the real world.
I think people are too engrossed in cultural consumer and entertainment escapism to even understand how fucked up things are. And it’s sad because that escapism is also feeding the datamining and marketing to further out people in hole soullessness and social manipulation. The path of our lives isn’t even our natural path anymore, they use our life for reasons that aren’t ours. Shit. That last sentence is a paraphrase from John Stockwell - a CIA whistle blower from the 80s.
Death seems like it’s slowly becoming more genuine than life. Like it seems obvious the goal of those in control has nothing to do with genuine humanity, but instead some psychotic ideology based off fear of freedom and natural existence.
If we’re lucky maybe someday they’ll allow us assisted suicide for the ailment of understanding truth. …but they’ll probably just crucify us, or genocide.
You’re 100%
Look up the day Lifelog was retired by the gov and the day Facebook started… Do you believe in coincidences?
Your ancestors were made of sun and soil and dancing and joy and community and struggle. Those things still exist. You do not need to feed the algorithm.
Yeah that is the reason I quit going to protest in Morganton, NC of all places.
Some local cops got in trouble this year because they were using their drones as PHYSICAL enforcement of the drone-ban for the 4th of July fireworks.
As in, they didn’t follow drones to find their owners, they tried to use their own drone to smash other ones out of the sky. They hit a car on the way down…
are umbrellas illegal yet?
Parasols. Umbrellas stop rain, so it’s sus1 to use one when it isn’t raining. Parasols are for sunny days.
1 - Being sus might as well be a crime in the US at this point.
Curious how long it will take someone to come up with an STL and board spec and parts list for an anti-drone soft kill system that can be deployed through a sunroof lolol
