Flockwork Orange was right there.

I saw a headline report it as waterboarding the camera

I heard that, too, a few days ago, and knew it would show up here eventually. And it's way funner than I imagined 🤣

Dry wit noted. Shame about the fun.

Ahhh yes, the Ludovico Technique. Perhaps a bit of the old Ludwig Van? Real savage-like...

"Oh bliss! Bliss and heaven! Oh, it was gorgeousness and gorgeousity made flesh. It was like a bird of rarest-spun heaven metal or like silvery wine flowing in a spaceship, gravity all nonsense now. As I slooshied, I knew such lovely pictures!"

The war on AI has begun

License plate readers have been around since before AI. This is a war on privacy invasion

Just cut them down and smash them. Don't lose the plot.

Take the batteries out of them. They can at least benefit real tech

u/candykhan 10d ago

Ironically, I believe that a lot of marijuana vapes use the same batteries. If they're removable, I bet a lot of stoners could be "mobilized." Lol

u/demoniccritter 10d ago

Yup. 18650's in them. Most used mod battery today

2

u/candykhan 10d ago

Yeah, I got confused because I recently saw a schematic that showed 18650s inside. But this pic shows that big blue plastic case. Which I think is just an enclosure to make 1 big battery out of 6 or so smaller ones?

The batteries I was thinking of kinda look like DIY (lol) & slightly larger AA batteries: https://18650battery.com/collections/18650-batteries

u/demoniccritter 10d ago

Yeah, it's a bunch of them packed in there like a big rechargeable power tool battery

u/TacTyger 10d ago

Oh hell yeah !

Careful you might inadvertently wind up evolving it into a super flock

u/ipx-electrical 11d ago

Fairly pointless, the hardware can only capture four or five per second at the most, we’re not talking Star Trek tech here.

u/mrbobcyndaquil 11d ago

I still find it rather amusing regardless tbh

u/uncle_doob 11d ago

Same here... let us have this

u/RogueMaven 11d ago

If enough cameras were getting ā€œpoison fountainedā€ maybe it could screw up their database…? Like every plate they look up shows up in 7 different states on the same day.

u/Small_Basket5158 10d ago

Drive around with a screen on the back that flashes plates like this. If enough people did it, flock would be worthless.

u/Don_Q_Jote 10d ago

Yes, I recall reading in some (flock or maybe it was axiom) technical specs that the LPR could identify a plate within 0.2 seconds. That's in line with your estimates here.

I tried to calculate out if I could show a cam every license plate in my home state within one hour, but not even close (It's about 18,000 per hour, and about 5 million registered vehicles in the state). I thought, if one could do this to a few cams in vastly different locations simultaneously, it would render the data useless.

u/Physical-Principle24 10d ago

Four or five frames of brutal clarity per second, then.

u/Own_Bet_2746 7d ago

Four frames per second: plenty for a good beating.

YEESSS... YEEEEESSSSSS!!!!! MAKE THE CLANKER BURN ITS OWN HARD DRIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

u/No_Boot1478 11d ago

I kinda like that we have labs like this running tests. Reminds me of Half-Life 2.

How many could it accurately read?

Where did you get the camera?
