Panopticon on wheels.
eh, code violations are a local government thing. If your town is a giant HOA then look in the mirror. Done properly code violations are serious things you do actually need to fix.
Wtf, is there nothing that isn’t for sale anymore?
Capitalism!
Hahaha so true. Or is it socialist since the data is coming from a garbage truck lol 🤔
Don’t know if it’s these “AI cameras”, but my garbage company started uploading videos of my “violations” to their portal to justify charging me more (bin was open a few inches a couple times). They have video of them picking up the bin (showing my car plates and house in the back), and also of the bin contents from another camera after they dump it into the truck.
I can only assume they’re working on the “threw a non-recyclable item in recycle bin” logic so they can
charge moreprotect the environment.Makes sense though. There was trouble with people throwing hazardous waste into the green waste bins and then kids getting exposed to the material. Fuck those people.
My city has them now. A friend of mine got flagged for overfilled bins. Before it only flagged you if the driver did, and the driver only would if it was egregious. The AI doesn’t GAF and reports fucking everything apparently.
“EU bad! EU doing too much regulation!”
Meanwhile, Trumpist USA:But you see, they’re not regulating the corporations. That’s the big difference.
Yeah, this is revenue generation that will replace taxes on businesses.
This has been a thing for like 15 years. Just not using “AI”
Will they take a picture before or after the fuckers in the truck somehow manage to fling my cans into the drainage ditch again
They’ll take a pic afterwards and then fine you for polluting the runoff
Okie dokie, guess I’ll be installing super bright IR floodlights to maintain my privacy then.
Fuck your cameras lol
Is this an actual issue? your home should not be so bad that its violating city code. If it is you should be getting a blight notification.
Having the city to under resourced to notice and take action doesnt change that this is a negative thing. The only angle I can see bad about this is false notices going out or increasing the work load for city council workers sifting through all the new reports.
As per the summary part of the post, it’s talking about a “blight” score and HOA (Home Owners Associations).
No its talking about giving each house a blight score similar to an HOA. The city council already has guidelines and this blight score is data to help. This isnt like an HOA where you get fined for having a bin on the front of house.
Yes, as already demonstrated, cameras everywhere reporting “violations” are always accurate and never abused, totally contestable and the local council is always reasonable about them.
How is this going to be “abused” the responsibility remains on the person at the council issuing the violation they can see the photo before filing. They are contestable the same as any other property violation.
city code is frequently idiotic as written but so infrequently enforced that nobody complains
Ok so either change it or the city officials will ignore all but the worst violations. Both irrelevant to the technology.
“If you arent breaking the law, you have nothing to hide”
You can’t hide the front of your house from the street
The suburban mind cannot comprehend a rural house behind an acre of trees.
The point is the view of your house(property) from the street is not private. Its not a privacy invasion to take a street view picture.
You didnt say property. You said house.
What if you live underground?
Yeah, let’s just unleash completely unreliable tech to punish people for shit that the city isn’t even willing to fund enforcement of!
The station caught up with local real estate broker Ty Williams, who got a courtesy notice for “chimney paint” on a house he owned after one of these cameras came by. He shared a photo of the chimney, and it’s, like, just a regular chimney with some slight discoloration from age.
Human review isn’t doing shit to avoid the inherent problem with the system. This is just the new version of red light cameras, which are also unreliable and incentivize punitive fines.
Red light cameras are fine. If the person as an issue with the official city complaint they can take the city to court.
As for the real estate agent they are likely full of shit given the article didnt post their photo. Plus ive seen what they try and claim as damage they have no trust.
Thats the same logic when minorities are unfairly bothered by cops. A lot of people dont have the resources to fight the system especially for minor fines. But it is unfair for them to lose time and money fighting something that they shouldnt have been charged. Its the opposite of how an effective justice system works.
By that logic dont enforce any laws because some enforcement might be grey and people dont have the resources to make their case.
Thats dumb this is a non issue. You are suggesting we throw out the entire process improvement because it might be wrong and a council worker might not check before issuing the notice then the home owner might be unable to respond to the violation notices.
How do you beat something like this with technology? It must be possible.
Good lasers, suppressed 22s, Sawzall’s, you name it.
Need a clock-blocker.
Garbage truck is gonna be new target practice for the pellet gun.
I’m so tired, boss.
Can we stop with the dystopia for like…. A whole week?
Why don’t we use this surveillance to nail the big companies that are polluting to the wall? (Because we are ruled by the worst among us.)
Good fucking luck seeing where i live from the street. I’d build a compound wall if i could.
Didn’t work for laden wont work for you. Locally here they just fly drones over neighborhoods and issue citations.
I feel good. Ol’ Binny didn’t have a half-acres worth of this stuff.
😂
