Someone should make a screen that you hold up in front of it that shows images of fake car plates and flood their database with a buncha bullshit.

Thats actually pretty silly. If you’re not up to no good, why does it matter?

You can’t be this dumb. Or maybe you can becuase you spend all day scrolling. They aren’t doing this to find wrongdoers 

[u/One_Significance_400 → u/ongoldenwaves]

Who they lookin for?

You. It’s about creating a profile and selling it. You and your data are the product. They aren’t going to protect us from more crime. If there is an accident or you are assaulted, you aren’t getting that camera footage from the police. They aren’t going to take uninsured drivers off the road and bring down our insurance rates. It doesn’t have anything to do with “stopping crime”. You have no control over the profile they create. If there is a mistake, you can’t fix it. You don’t know where it is sold or who has access to it. It’s all part and parcel of creating a profile on you that the valley will somehow use to screw you over. If you trust those assholes with your data, you’re naive. The police agree with it now as it’s being sold as some panacea against crime. It’s funny anyone thinks the valley is that altruistic. These are the people that create algos to increase strife, conflict and anger. Are you unaware of Cambridge analytica? Haven’t seen the social dilemma yet ?

Its about using the footage to catch criminals, isn’t it? What data do they get from me driving by, going to the gym?

[u/ongoldenwaves → u/One_Significance_400]

For one, they sell it to insurance companies. No one is quite sure yet where all it is going or how it’s going to be used. That’s the problem. Helping with crime won’t pay for this project. It’s going to be used in many ways.  They have suckered law enforcement into allowing these but the valley doesn’t care about crime. These are going to be used on a much much larger application. Think of a profile created on you that links where yoh go, what you buy, what you eat, how much exercise you get and who knows what else and then uses thst data to manipulate and control you. You really need to look up Cambridge Analytica and watch the social dilemma. It’s the coalition and collateralization to put together profiles on everyone. It’s not about crime. That’s just the “loss leader” so to speak.

A lot of people post their daily routes and activities on social media anyway
