Re: Dashcam images reveal where police are deployed
#3On a different but similar idea, I had the idea of using dashcam footage to read petrol station (gas stations for you lot over the pond) signs and get info about pricing for fuel. You could reduce the amount of processing required by only looking for pricing info near a station based on gps. My blackview dashcam stores the video along with gps on a microsd card and it can be accessed using a http connection when on wifi. Just never got to it.

#4The paper itself is quite interesting, and also contains the maps illustrating where NYPD is deployed more often.

#5Next logical step:
Police departments park disused cars overnight in rich neighbourhoods so the stats don't show they are 'targeting' poor areas disproportionately...

#7>Areas with more police vehicle images included wealthy commercial zones and low-income neighborhoods with higher proportions of Black and Latino residents.
Does this really surprise anyone?
Lower income areas have more crime. I don't understand why race is a factor here.

#8Remember that the federal government is still of the opinion that NYPD is disproportionately targeting black people with its stop and frisk policy, today.
That is, almost a decade after it was ruled unconstitutional in federal court. (Edit: "it" being stop & frisk as a whole, not just the targeting of minorities)

#10I remember the outcry when Google Glass first came out. Now ordinary cams, image datasets plus AI reveals much more than an ordinary people moving around and seeing/recording things as they are happening.
What could we uncover from the data if more cams and sensors are added to AI systems which can process real time data.
We watched Person of Interest as Sci-Fi, but it's becoming utopian considering what we possibly have now.
Heh.
