Hi tech speed camera in Wellington gorge earns $

[Tazz]

Classic evidence here that use of technology is NOT about solving crime in this ANPR car story http://www.stuff.co.nz/national/crim...tolen-vehicles

"Police say the technology does not capture any details about drivers or passengers, and information recorded by the system is deleted after 48 hours.

Nah, it's so people don't feel like they're being tracked and monitored (which they are by the phone in their pocket anyway).

I bet you if they did keep the data there would be an uproar about it.

In a recent three-month operation in Counties-Manukau, police using the technology recovered 15 stolen vehicles, and took 180 disqualified, forbidden or suspended drivers off the road.

Police say the technology does not capture any details about drivers or passengers, and information recorded by the system is deleted after 48 hours.

So how did the police catch 180 drivers when they only picked up 15 stolen vehicles? After all, the technology does not capture any details about drivers or passengers, their words not mine.

Maybe - just maybe, they stopped vehicles with expired rego or maybe expired WOF or maybe owned by a disqualified driver or.....

I would read that as 15 stolen plus 180 drivers in other vehicles. Not all of them in the 15 vehicles I dont think. Makes sense to me.

Or just maybe three of the stolen vehicles were 60 seater tour buses on a pub crawl for the local AA group... Its a worry that we expect people to read stops signs as part of the road code and yet sucha simple sentence can be read rongerley

In Pack 'n Slave recently and this van was doing the rounds of the carpark.
ANPR cameras obviously needed a workout...

[Moise]

What a joke. Cruising around supermarket car parks. What next - Maccas drive throughs?
The cops here are total amateurs compared to how they use this technology in the UK to catch criminals.

Cameras about to be even more hi tech...

FUCK!

I always had misgivings about Auckland transport but this confirms it. They're a pack of unmitigated bastards.

These are prime examples of their outright lies (or at least wild delusions):

"The safety and well-being of our citizens is always our top priority and the Future Cities initiative is a big step in the right direction,"

"This comprehensive HP ... big data solution will enhance the life of their citizens and will become a model of transport systems for cities around the globe."

And they're seriously barking up the wrong tree if they think we trust this to last:

"The system "should not be used for surveillance or monitoring of specific individuals (whether or not identifiable by name, and whether not facilitated by supporting technology) except in respect of specific criminal acts or organised crime or other reasonably suspected criminal behaviour (including terrorism) on the basis of such evidence or reasonable suspicion of criminal offending," the principles state.

Definitely a BIG step along the way to "Samaritan".

Well if ya ride up the gorge between 14:45 - 15:15, on a daily basis, it's generally undergoing some form of maintenance. Cane away bitches.

God approves the use of "deadly force" against these inhuman abominations & it's like kind

Theoretically organised vehicle theft and burglary rates should plummet with such a system but what's the bet it won't change. And there should be no more missing persons or unsolved random assaults.
Keys can still say kiwis are not being spied on as its a local body organisation and foreign corporate doing it, not the gscb or police etc...
It will be great if Aucks became a crime free utopia but my money's on red light, parking and rego fines revenue skyrocketing. Facial recognition also brings in option of fines for jay walking too...

[swbarnett]

Please NO!

If, in an ideal situation, this happened in isolation then yes. However, in reality the cost is far too high. Crime free is one thing but if we become slaves to surveillance in the process then I'd rather have the crime.

Anywhere ... anytime ...

Yup. Private property, public property...

Where next? Perhaps in the middle of the bush to catch dirt bikers?
