Look for Solar Panels on a elevated aluminum pole with a smoked globe. These are portable scanners deployed in Wal Mart Parking Lots for example. They are everywhere. Understand that DATA is sold and these are "collection centers". They are scanning plates AND faces as well as the gate of your walk. And yes, it winds up in Data Centers in a "node", a file one of each we all have with our name on it.
Online trackers, visual detection and the assumption that you are being surveilled by your electronics and the time you are in public. You can wear sunglasses, use a faraday cage cover for your phonr, change your walking gate and use a liscence plate cover to mildly obscure your cars plate. The surveillance is extensive when you stop to include all methods from the time you leave your home.
They can read when your broken license plate frame (you know, the one the dealer puts on when you buy the car) hangs and covers digits on your plate. Ask me how I know, cause I got hit with a camera fine and the damn picture showed two digits covered
You cant escape them unless you avoid them entirely. So for lack of a better suggestion.... go off grid and become self sustaining. Homesteader it up.
That being said, there are types of translucent and transparent adhesives that can be applied to your license plate that mess with the flock cameras. However, this is not obfuscating your face or vehicle make/model/etc... all of which make the plate camouflage moot.
Luckily, my town and county are both too poor to afford even one of these flock cameras. The nearest one is about 30 miles away. I don't drive much any more. I only buy gas about once a month. I have driven my car less in 5 years than most people drive in a single year.
Luckily same here. I have to drive an hour to get to this city I referenced.
Unfortunately I still have to drive into the city to work. Not for much longer though! Ready to retire anytime, just stubbornly putting it off every year kek!
I retired when I was 50. It was hard, but I made it happen. I have been retired over 20 years, and I'm happy with my choice. I was tired of ignorant bosses trying to micromanage things they didn't understand. It was almost exactly like in Dilbert when the Pointy-Haired Boss tells Dilbert his coding contains too many semicolons.
They're not just those mobile versions. There's about a dozen in the city I work in that are fixed to existing utility infrastructure.
All of the non retailer (city/county/state) static flock cams I've seen are similar in build: Typically black in color with a textbook sized solar panel atop a rectangular camera with rounded edges. Small fast blinking red light when it's activated.
This utility pole style flock attachment started popping up around 2019 as far as I can remember. Not long after various companies & major cities across the US were given on loan (oftentimes for free) the mobile versions you described.
This is ridiculous. You are all acting like criminals, seeking to conceal your identity in public. Why not wear masks? And costumes? Or a fake beard? The essential thing about being out in public...is that you can be seen...by anyone. This has always been the case for thousands of years.
Once upon a time, there was this thing called a White Pages phone book, where your name was alphabetically listed along with your street address and phone number. That was just accepted as a feature of civilized life. Now, I suppose it would be greeted with horror as being an invasion of privacy. (You could always get an unlisted number.)
Just do the numbers. There are 350 million people in this country. Nobody will have the time and attention to scrutinize everyone. The surveillance is useful to track down violent offenders and property crimes. I am good with that. I'm not interested in drawing attention to myself by bogus methods of defeating the purpose of license plates.
Guyz its just a license plate reader! There is NO WAY da gubment or whatever 3rd party this is contracted out to would use this data or sell this data for any reason! For realz!! Theres no way ai would be used to consolodate this data so 1 person didnt have to stare at the cameras all day, EVER!!!! Why dont you want to be filmed and have your movements recorded? You hiding something?! lolz I just lovez and bathe having all my activities filmed and recorded!
This shows just how clueless you are on this topic.
This is like a boomer saying "just turn your phone off, then NOBODY can track iT!!!"
Yes, they can track you with things off.
yes they can track you even with a full head covering.
Yes they can track you simply by HOW you walk with no other info.
And yes, AI can compile all this data instantly, so you're NEVER a needle in a haystack, you are TARGET #81,374,813 the system is currently watching
These clueless people posting bullshit, does not help anyone. You're stuck in 1982, pede... The tech being used now is from 3291 (to you). YOu NEED to catch up on the capabilities.
It doesn't matter. It adds up to the same thing. The difference between us, I suspect, is that I am not interested in skulking like a spy. I'm not afraid of being free in public spaces. Nobody I know ever got their hackles up by noticing a policeman standing around, watching people. If you want to jaywalk, that could cool your desire.
Nobody spends time tailing a non target. This makes everyone a target 100 percent of the time. The key differemce being a tail knows its target this system looks for a target. It computer generated and fallible. Ive spent plentybof hours 25 years ago on rolling and transitional surveillance and we surelybdidnt waste time on people who didnt need it. This is invasive and innocent people will be captured in it.
I would have to disagree. This would make everyone part of a recorded scene 100% of the time, but selecting targets is intentional and selective. How is it "invasive" if it does not violate privacy screens (fences, hedges)? In what way would "innocent" people be "captured" in it? This is nothing different than the cop on the streetcorner or behind the billboard, and we never found that unsettling.
A.I. doesn't give a shit one way or the other. It has the comprehension of a toaster. It needs to be cued to focus on anything. All this computational machinery cranking away on 350 million souls, and maybe the Powers that Be are interested in a few thousand? For what?
Do you even understand what Google does, how it makes money?
Your habits, behaviors, and interests are cataloged and associated with a file on you.
When enough data points are accumulated you become predictable. And once you are predictable, you are easy to manipulate.
TPTB have no interest in Person A, so the corporations monetize the data. But down the road Person A decides that TPTB have gotten out of their lane. Now TPTB can start manipulating Person A once they decide that he's a threat.
Even if the above weren't well established fact (which it is), my life is none of anyone else's business.
Lots of assertions and conjecture. Is any of it true? I've tried to find myself on the internet and have failed repeatedly. Individual "manipulation" is nonsense. If you go out in public, then---guess what?---it is everyone else's business...at least to look at you. Do you want to be invisible? Do you want to be a hermit? This all sounds like taking public life to be a prison. I consider that I am free to walk around, and nobody knows my business unless I tell them. I have spent 40 years in a profession of keeping secrets and it is very easy to do.
I don't care which individuals see me, I object to The State having records of my comings and going. It's a little thing called the right to privacy that I read about in some document or other.
As for the Google stuff, there's no question that THAT is actually happening.
As for the manipulation, you've already seen The State, thru their Corp. Media proxies, manipulate people by what info is and is not available to them.
I have no issues with individuals recording in public or on their own property.
Clever idea. I hadn't heard of it before. But since one can always retreat from public life, it is not a prison. There are walls and tents and caves. There is wilderness. For what are you imprisoned and what happens if you do as you please (within the law)---or do you advocate anarchy? I truly don't understand your complaint. Mankind has been living in large groups since before history. It is mainly the thing that makes us "human."
There are 350 million people in this country. Nobody will have the time and attention to scrutinize everyone.
It's done by AI. A million scans per minute is easy. Humans are only notified if there's recognition of a felony/wanted person/vehicle. The data is stored so notification might occur some time after the scan, for example if a felony occurs and AI scans the data to see who was in the area at the time. And "felony" could also be a person known to be a dissenter.
I don't think you can prove your assertion. A million scans (how many pixels?) per minute, works out to be nearly 17,000 frames/second. That is orders of magnitude excessive. If a person is known to be a dissenter, his information is already known. The Nazis were able to go after dissenters just fine without any electronic assistance whatsoever. Perhaps you haven't realized that the best defense against givernment repression is to increase your public profile, so you are constantly surveiled by the mass public. Lots of witnesses tend to deter skulduggery.
Maybe not, but you are not providing examples. In the hands of a good cop, it can lead to faster solution of violent or property crimes. My house was burgled and tossed, so I have some personal interest in that aspect. A crooked cop will always be crooked. This is where system internal surveillance becomes important.
Check out the OP’s site and associated sites. There is an iOS app called FlockHopper that will use the maps API to route you with no/fewest known cameras. I live outside of Chicagoland, which is absolutely peppered by these cameras. Even so, I can get a clean route from where I am to the museums in downtown Chicago. These routes obviously require some more turns, but wow, what a useful service. This will make traveling around more fun.
Police can enter your home, seize evidence and arrest you, without your consent. What’s the difference? This is an accepted process and requires a judge to sign off. Digital surveillance should follow the same pattern. I think policy reform is the bigger issue here. I don’t have any problem with police making the world safer. It’s when they overstep that I have issue.
I wonder….at the grocery, self check out, camera/screen right in front of your face: “reading” your subtle reactions to prices or items or that TOTAL. Wonder what it would do if you went in the same store you always do, only with a full mask? Would the system glitch? An alarm bell sound? Could be fun to try and see what happens?
Some diamond grade retroreflective tape might help, cut some up into small bits and stick them to your licence plates, your windscreen and the underside of a baseball cap, that might help.
Lift your head a few times to (hopefully) blind the sensors, that could help, better than nothing.
I checked out the map, and there are zero of these in my town or for 10 or 20 miles around. Further north into VA, there are tons of them in Chesapeake, Virginia Beach, and Norfolk. I don't drive there any more anyway.

EVERY device you own - PC, phone etc - has a back door built into it on the hardware layer. It's baked into the cake from square one - mandated by No Such Agency and others...
The Clipper Chip was a 1990s NSA-backed initiative proposing hardware-level backdoors in communication devices via a "key escrow" system. Although officially defunct by 1996, its legacy lives on in modern "Crypto Wars" regarding end-to-end encryption, backdoor mandates, and government efforts to compromise secure communications.
End to end encryption is a very spicy topic in certain circles... While completely doable if two parties are smart enough - the IC REALLY frowns upon its implementation on any significant scale. They're like voyeur pervs that just gotta stick their noses in everything... yanno, under the guise of "bad guys" an sheit.

Here's "The Thing": The PROBLEM is that they are relying increasingly on automation to analyze data that was collected. No algorithm that can be devised can account for every situation where ambiguity, the APPEARANCE of "guilt" or misdoings, and other situations that require human discernment and judgement. This is why we still have a jury of your peers - because in the world of digital 0/1, off/on, yes/no, positive/negative, black/white binary logic - there's NO ROOM for the gray area that permeates daily life.

It's not so much the collection of data - it's WHO has it AND WHAT they're doing with it that matters. Start reading the fine print whenever you see it - EULAs, agreements, etc. It exists for those awake to understand how they're being screwed by consuming whatever "product" or service - and how many just blow right past it?
You're free to complain about all this stuff...but that's about it. There's no going back to rotary phones and riding bikes up to Sev.

Your job is to bring God's LIGHT into this dark sector of the galaxy. Find God's LIGHT within yourself & then help others to find theirs... and stop worrying.

At least I'm not in a surveillance area. The planes don't cover small towns, and there are zero flock cameras here.

Be an Amish homebody
Stay indoors, preferably away from windows
Wear a full face motorcycle helmet with mirror lens
Intentionally walk with a limp, "get low" while strafing & switch up your stride and gait every day
Cover your entire body in IR super bright LED emitters, turn them all on and just "act normal"
Full furry outfit with mascot head
Climb into a pine box & have a fren lower it 6 feet into the ground
Slather yourself in Kiwi™️ shoe polish and wear camo - See Gene Wilder in Silver Streak & soldiers in Predator for proper application

And somebody can track you by following you (it's called a "tail"). What are you going to do? Shoot them?
Put the phone in a Faraday bag. Better yet, leave it at home. Best of all, put it in a safe.
Nobody needs A.I. when they start out knowing your name. You must be very shy to fear walking around in public.
Bro, please go read up on what CURRENT surveillance systems can do.
Nobody needs to "gang stalk" you, you are literally stuck in the 1960s spy movies, and it shows
It doesn't matter. It adds up to the same thing. The difference between us, I suspect, is that I am not interested in skulking like a spy. I'm not afraid of being free in public spaces. Nobody I know ever got their hackles up by noticing a policeman standing around, watching people. If you want to jaywalk, that could cool your desire.
gangstalking still occurs...albeit with the aid of technology moreso now than ever

" Nobody will have the time and attention to scrutinize everyone."
No HUMAN.
It's not about human surveillance. It's bringing Google's invasive snoopiness into the real world.
It's about digitizing your entire life so you can be sold and manipulated.
A.I. doesn't give a shit one way or the other. It has the comprehension of a toaster. It needs to be cued to focus on anything. All this computational machinery cranking away on 350 million souls, and maybe the Powers that Be are interested in a few thousand? For what?
