This makes you sound like an unbearable asshole.
Of course it is. The police are pulling over innocent people. When they figure out and then ask why they realize it's because flock misread the plate and flagged the vehicle based on that one data point alone.
Where you seem to be confused is the type of defect analysis you're talking about is possible but it's generally not done in real time. You have to have a specific target and then dedicate an immense amount of compute resources into locating it. This is not what you're fighting against.
There's hollywood and then there's reality. Let's work in reality.
You don't seem to understand the implications of stockpiling that level of data across such a huge swath of geography. I work closer to this stuff than the general public does and while I'm not ass deep in it, I see enough from the periphery in my office to recognize what can be done with a huge pile of data. Expanding those kinds of operations to sweep the general public for anomalous behavior and deviations from behavioral patterns...I don't want any part of that infrastructure built.
And what does that cost? And how often does it get used? And how many targets can it acquire and track in a day?
Okay. Then go cut poles down then. I tried to warn you.
