Artificial intelligence is helping American cops look for “suspicious” patterns of movement using license plate databases.

    Wonder how long before these things start automatically mailing you a ticket because they calculated your speed between camera stops and determined you were going 3-5mph over the limit on the highway and if the “well it was used to catch a criminal” crowd will be as accepting of this technology then

      The section control technology youre refering to is already being used in some countries, and they ofcourse automatically send you your speeding tickets. 3-5 mph would only be a marginal fine tho, if there even would be a fine at all. I dont understand though how that would be any different from normal speed checks, except for the fact that it might be more accurate.

        The problem in the US is they can’t give moving violations without someone there to testify. Usually that’s the officer. If the officer doesn’t show up, the ticket is tossed. I’m not really sure why they can give redlight tickets (unclear if that held up or not), but some of it had to do with if it was something that affected your license, or was a “violation” instead of a crime like a parking ticket.

      I mean, they can’t prove a sufficiently large gravitational wave didn’t hit you between the two checkpoints, causing you to travel through space relatively quickly.

    Wake me when the AI can identify people who are going to commit crimes before they commit the crimes.

    Edit: it’s a precog reference from Minority Report, btw.

    Wait so if you drive like a crazy person after a few beers and a good ol’smash up with the lads then you are suddenly a criminal?

      I do my best driving after a few beers.

      Granted, that’s mostly because I have a much easier time hitting pedestrians when I’m sober.
