  2. Ce n'est pas dans des analyses que l'on s'attend à trouver des "scoops".... Pourtant il y en a peut-être un dans celle-ci,

    Dans le graphique, en 2025, sur le programme 172 de la mission #recherche, il manquait 494 millions d'euros par rapport à ce qui était prévu par la #lpr votée fin 2020...
    Verre à moitié plein: la promesse de 2020 est remplie aux deux tiers...

  3. A Free Tool [DeFlock] Maps The License Plate Readers On Your Route [Flock, Etc], Then Lets You Slide Right Past Them
    (Drivers can compare standard routes against camera-free alternatives with DeFlock’s growing surveillance database)

    “…
    • DeFlock can generate routes that avoid known [Automated License Plate Readers] ALPR cameras entirely.
    • Users can choose how far they want to stay from surveillance cameras.
    • The tool arrives as scrutiny of license plate readers continues to grow.
    For years, automated license plate readers have quietly spread across America. They sit on utility poles, at intersections, near shopping centers, and along roads most drivers use every day. The overwhelming majority of motorists never notice them. A free website called DeFlock changes that by showing where many of those cameras are located and, more importantly, helping users avoid them if they choose. In a world where surveillance is often invisible, that’s a surprisingly powerful feature…”

    “Automated License Plate Readers (ALPRs or LPRs) are AI-powered cameras that capture and analyze images of all passing vehicles, storing details like your car's location, date, and time. They also capture your car's make, model, colour, and identifying features such as dents, roof racks, and bumper stickers, often turning these into searchable data points.
    These cameras collect data on millions of vehicles regardless of whether the driver is suspected of a crime. These systems are marketed as indispensable tools to fight crime, but they ignore the powerful tools police already have to track criminals, such as cell phone location data, creating a loophole that doesn't require a warrant…”

  4. Heute wieder was gelernt. Das Kommandozeilentool auf dem Mac zum Ausdrucken von PDF Dateien heißt #lpr wie Line Printer. Meine Güte, Zeilendrucker kannte ich aus den 80er Jahren.

  5. @Nonilex The #MassShooting suspect at #BrownUniversity has been found in New Hampshire, dead of a self-inflicted gunshot wound. nypost.com/2025/12/18/us-news/

    It remains to be seen if he is connected to the murder of a #MIT #physics professor. A license-plate reader #LPR was critical to identifying the suspect.

  6. I wonder how commercial #LPR systems integrate with boom gates, i.e. send signals to bring up the gate/pole and such?

  7. That #Drone in the Sky Could Be #Tracking Your Car

    Police are using their drones as flying automated license plate readers(ALPRs), airborne police #cameras that make it easier than ever for law enforcement to follow you

    "The #Flock Safety drone, specifically, are flying #LPR cameras as well,” Rahul Sidhu, VP of Aviation at #FlockSafety , recently told a group of potential law enforcement customers interested in drone-as-first-responder (DFR) programs

  8. Flock’s Aggressive Expansions Go Far Beyond Simple Driver #Surveillance

    The cloud #AutomaticLicensePlateReader ( #ALPR or #LPR ) company #Flock is building a dangerous nationwide mass-surveillance #infrastructure as we have been pointing out for several years now. The problem with #MassSurveillance is that it always expands beyond the uses for which it is initially justified — and sure enough, Flock’s system is undergoing insidious expansion across multiple dimensions.

  9. Bref, la #LPR / #LPPR est un échec...

    ... Mais un échec rassurant, car tout à fait logique et prévu. Il n'y a absolument aucune surprise.

  10. L'objectif de la #LPR /LPPR était de :
    - réinvestir massivement
    - restaurer l'attractivité des carrières
    - simplifier « à hauteur de paillasse »
    - remettre la France au « premier rang international »
