Except your 4th amendment also outlines how we legally obtain such data through warrants.

They have been affixed to the backs of police cars for a long time.

I can only imagine your knowledge of how the government works is limited by whatever articles you find on the internet to agree with you.

My department receives exactly $0.00 from fines or citations, and this is not wildly unusual. If you get municipal violations and go to municipal courts, sure, there are fees.

But…

Imagine that. I’ve put 8 people in prison for stealing cars and none of them have been wrecked, and all were returned to the owner. But that doesn’t jive with your all encompassing “cops” definition, and your oh so edgy language.

I am interested in your methodology for determining how all of the approximately 760,00…

I don’t know anything about corporations using the LPR data. The ones we use, are law enforcement only. Even smaller police agencies must go through us to use it.

Also, despite the use of “my ass”, it really is just numbers. The LPR readers don’t pull registration information. Its up to the investigator to identify…

I meant the LPR system as a whole, but you knew that.

Sure, you said revenue, but you didn’t mean fines. You only meant the specific act of booting a car, and someone was supposed to infer that.

Righto.

Oh. So you didn’t think about this for more than 8 seconds. Got it.

So when I person sees you consume alcohol and then driver away, if that person notifies the police should they not tell them where they are, ya know, for privacy.

I noticed it too, they look awful.

You understand this is by no means a new system right?

Nevermind, of course you don’t understand.

Thats upsetting. The only way to get better policing is to get better police. This is why for the most part, State Agencies stay out of the news as they tend to pay more and attract better candidates than cities.

While your example is correct, if not extremely short sighted, this is nowhere near the same. Your expectation of privacy on your license plate is most definitely not comparable to the interior of your car.

Except these systems are employed nationwide and have been for some time, and they don’t do this.

Thanks for playing though.

Despite your sentencing enhancing use of “fucking”, warrants are not needed for your movements in the public space.

Say a civilian sees you consume alcohol and get in your vehicle and decides to alert the police? Did that person violate your privacy. No. If you think they did, perhaps the hermit lifestyle is for you.

Except they don’t.

These have been around, I’ll say longer than you’ve been feverishly spewing shit on the internet, they do not issue tickets.

Again, with the pitchforks.

Except, all stolen plates are also entered into the LPR system.

Fuck, did you even think about this for 8 seconds?

The cost between static cameras on a pole VS automated units fixed to the back of moving vehicles is significant.

Or, whatever you said, that seems far more fun. Lets get the pitchforks.
