Pretend to be innocent and mistakenly drop a heavy steel bar stolen from the gym on the camera and run away.
opps, I accidentally dropped this heavy steel bar while on a pole 30-40' off the ground.
A lot of statements and theories about these camera's from all sorts of directions, but they're just pole cams. LEA's have been using pole cams since before I was born (I'm 34). I worked in law enforcement as an analyst and spent some time staring at pole cams that were setup to surveil known drug dealers or criminal gang members. To do one correctly (i.e. legally) you typically need a warrant or a court order, but i…
One might think that drugs are only an excuse.
Anybody else afraid to click some of the links in that post until you hear about legality of accessing (and controlling!) a DEA camera that's likely part of an active investigation?

I use nordvpn that I purchased with a credit card. Before using it I would get notices from my ISP for pirating but not anymore. As far as I'm concerned it just makes me not the lowest hanging fruit and that's good enough for me. Even if they wouldn't cut off my service from those notices I consider it worth $50 a yearfor peace of mind. Plus it comes in handy for getting around some geo restrictions.
Case in point: thinking that any of this is relevant in a thread about people logging into government-setup cameras. Btw, you might want to look into what came out of this story: https://medium.com/@derek./how-is-nordvpn-unblocking-disney-... — it's mostly guesswork but I'm not sure how a company buys 32 million residential ips otherwise.

Only 350m people in the world need to worry, the rest of us are outside of your (legal) jurisdiction.

Oakland has shotspotter and my understanding is that it's been considered a failure
Really? Why? In DC, I think it's been pretty successful because lots of gunshots do not result in police calls.

Also worth noting that just about every redlight intersection has cameras mounted on top pointing at traffic in each direction. It's pretty much impossible to navigate through a city anonymously in a vehicle. Now with facial recognition software getting so advanced I'd water it's impossible to walk through a city anonymously as well. They don't necessarily need aerial imagery when every intersection has HD cameras po…
Video-based lane occupancy detection is widely used by traffic lights, but it's rare for these cameras to be connected to anything other than a trigger module in the signal cabinet. It is conceptually possible to also connect these cameras to a remote monitoring system, but this comes at a very high cost. My city has been one of the stronger proponents of doing so but has only connected a very limited number of inter…
Which, by the way, many municipalities are building (or have already built) "new gee-whiz traffic management systems" which are Orwellian nightmare machines. They seem to be flying well under the radar because everybody hates traffic, and especially because nobody is allowed into the new traffic management buildings for tours, to see the capabilities of the system that seem to be hooked directly into law enforcement's computers.

This is an interesting system. I have worked with this technology on large and small scales, and it's a lot less accurate than you'd think. You have no hope of sending a police cruiser to check out a single gunshot based on the outputs of this system. But a single gunshot won't generate a police call in many cities as it is, so no change there. But a gang war? Sure, that will get the phone lines going and also genera…
Officers were able to locate and respond within a minute because of a system like this.
I'm more surprised about how those cameras handle the reddit traffic without a glitch
