Tiburon, Calif. to photograph every car entering town

I left that out on purpose, now you gone and spoiled it. :frowning:

just kidding, thanks.

You can buy products in the UK which claim to reflect speed camera flashes, thereby obscuring the licence plate. Their effectiveness is partial, at best.

However, a lot of these cameras just use normal light to function, so the spray would not work in those cases.

Pithy founding fathers quotes aside, I got nuthin to hide.
I say snap pictures of the occupants of every car. Lady says a white guy in a black shirt with a Braves hat snatched her purse, let’s go to the video!

If I’m in public, my actions are public. Since my actions are always legal (with a slight tendency toward high-velocity travel) no one will bother me or ask why I was there, etc…

Perhaps that’s a slippery slope to the eye-scanning tracking system in Minority Report, but I really don’t think so. I’m all about making criminals uncomfortable and maybe some kids who were thinking of tagging or whacking mailboxes won’t.

Last year we had a double homicide on my street. It’s not Tiburon, but it’s not the hood, either.
Turns out drug cartels rent houses in nice neighborhoods, and set up distribution points from there.
A buy turned sour and 2 bad guys ended up dead, with 3 vehicles fleeing. One witness had a vague description of them, but that’s all.
A week later, the cops came to me after learning that I have 2 cameras that view the street 24/7.
Sadly, my system re-writes after 48 hours, so I could give them nothing. Had they come sooner, I would have had pictures of the perps and tags.

A system like that has value in my book.

Cool! And since the system is flawless, you have no reason to fear!

I heard the only thing we have to fear is fear itself! :smiley:

Well, fear and getting fitted up by a corrupt police department, but given that this is California there’s no worries there… :smiley:
