A woman drives with both hands on the wheel. Her phone sits face-down on her lap. No officer pulls her over. No lights flash. Weeks later, a $1,251 ticket arrives in the mail. The evidence: a single frame from a Camera surveillance app. The charge: phone use while driving.
Automated camera companies market their devices as automated license plate readers — tools for catching stolen cars, flagging warrants, and aiding serious investigations.
Sold as a Crime Tool. Used as a Fine Machine.
The headline is about an event that took place in Australia. The article is just a crap one all around.
Ah fun, I didn’t even know about that since the original ticket’s location is never mentioned.
Well I’m still with the Americans on them not wanting it there. I don’t want it here either. Knowing the EU and my own country in particular, they’ll commission a big American tech company to provide it as a service. Maybe Palantir will start offering them lol
