  • So what you’re saying is that anytime sometime is filming or photographing someone else in public the person being filmed or photographed is

    Responsible for what the camera sees

    Is a direct user of any database or computer used to process the images

    The person filming is allowed to impose restrictions because they are filming other people in public

    That doesn’t sound quite right to me



  • No, because it is a widly known meme and would be considered free speech as satire. Since you did not access the system, there is no crime. If a person was manually entering license plates and entered it into a database, would it be your fault? No, you had no control over that person’s actions, and no reasonable person would mistake that as a licence plate. If a computer enters it on its own, then that is also not your fault, the programmer is responsible. You have no responsibility to know how a system handles its database inputs in order to avoid messing it up.


  • The license plate cameras near me simply take a photo when motion is detected and send it to the server or stores it until connection is reestablished. Then they use image recognition on the car to determine the make and model and on the license plate. They also claim that they can record items such as bumper stickers or body damage. I think that they probably have humans review cars that don’t match exactly. My guess is that they use object detection to isolate the license plate, but you could probably make one by printing text onto a piece of paper and gluing it onto some cardboard. I also think you could mess with it if you put a decal of a letter or number next to your license plate.


  • I don’t see how. The premise of these cameras is that anybody is allowed to film in public. All you’re doing is showing something in public which is perfectly legal. It doesn’t damage the camera. If they decide to use the image from their camera to enter text into a database, then that’s on them if something bad happens. You have no control over what happens inside of their computer. It’s no different than someone blindly copy pasting commands into their Linux terminal and deleting system 32.
