Cars with license plate readers
-
2023-08-06 at 11:12 AM UTCSo since 2014-2015 on a couple of occasions I've seen cars, random newish model cars riding slow around parking lots. They'll usually have tinted windows but sometimes the back ones will be rolled down and they will have a fuckton of those license plate readers pointed in all directions.
I always assumed this was the police or feds or something (maybe it is sometimes?) But the last time I saw it I was outside and I warned the people inside. 10 minutes later the same car pulls up with a tow truck and they tow one of the cars. So I take it that was a repo man?
Do you think it always is? Cops will sometimes use them on highways just waiting to get a hit to fuck with someone over their registration or something but if they're in a parking lot like this they're probably going to be looking for something specific amirite? -
2023-08-06 at 1:47 PM UTCwhat is your question

2023-08-06 at 2:34 PM UTCIt's a nationwide system and yes repo guys can get on it. Getting harder to dodge not paying for your car these days.

I've mostly seen patrol cars with one mounted on the trunk or something. These unmarked cars with a bunch of them in all different directions seem designed for parking lots. And it doesn't seem to me like something law enforcement would have much use for now that I think about it. And now that I learned that one was a repo man. -
2023-08-06 at 5:11 PM UTCNever seen one with a shitload of them. Just remember reading about repo companies being tied into the database.

Law enforcement wouldn't usually do that in a parking lot like that though right?
I got stopped driving my ex's car from a cop that had a reader that was in a Walmart parking lot. I'm not sure if that was specifically what he was doing, it was a small town so he may have been. I lived like a quarter mile away and he followed me home, luckily he didn't actually pull me over because I didn't have a license. It was alerted from a warrant 2 states away and it wasn't even felony because they didn't do shit, just told her you know you got a warrant....I didn't know out of state misdemeanor warrants even showed up like that.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -

Waymo Cars? you mean the 3D camera mounted on top of the cars? they're being used for creating maps but why would they roll into parking lots? maybe to build the map for the malls? sounds sus though,. they said they wouldn't allow them, but then little by little they started to accept their use. its big bro shit. I mean there is enough civilians to play the rat-a-tat-tat game Brave New World vs 1984 bullshit but yeah. it was coming. facial recognition was banned by gov use but I can tell you that Target and Walmart and many private owned Malls use it. so do Casinos Casinos invented the shit. -
2023-08-06 at 7:47 PM UTCSo here in the Bay Area (which I guess other states have been doing) you will now get a speeding ticket in the mail. its 100 dollars first offense. you have to go 11 miles over posted to get one. they now have the cameras set up. for decades people have bitched and congress shut it down. but in time it starts off soft like this. No points, no reporting to your insurance group. in 10 years it will be 500 dollars first offense and your insurance will be notified. they come in soft and go HARD on us in years to come.
it's total bullshit. I bet rich people can get out of it too. the thing I really hate was HOA lanes being given to rich people who can afford 8 dollars a day or 16 a day by bypassing traffic since they're now pay toll lanes for fastrak. the HOA lanes exist but you get hit with an 1-8 dollar bill. times two if you're doing it during commute hours. my guess is they will become 24/7 soon -
2023-08-06 at 7:52 PM UTCAlso I meant Google cars. Waymo is doing it to drop off customers at malls and parking lots because they're driverless taxi service by Uber. uber wants to rid all drivers.
life is going to get REALLY Hard for everyone. Zoomers dont want to work, Fine. you wont find work anyways.
little by little an entire office of 100 can be replaced by AI and the Tech guy who services it.
There will be no retirement for you and no Social Security to collect because you didn't put in 40 quarters (5 straight years of employment out of 10 years)
You're all going to be living in homeless encampments. no one will have money to buy your music. no one will give a fuck about your Youtube Vines.
this is some crazy fucked up shit. and it's coming sooner than you think -
2023-08-07 at 12:58 PM UTCI'm surprised if they allow private companies like repomen access to such a database, seems like a breach of privacy laws...great I guess if you are a repo man and a serial killer...see a sweet piece of ass, run her plates and get her address for later rapings and killingsThe following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire!

2023-08-09 at 1:56 PM UTCEverything in the system now. I read about a guy getting pulled over in a no-gun friendly state because when the cop ran his plate it came up he has CCW permit so they thought he would have it in the car.

I think with misdemeanor warrants they have to put them in some national system to show up but they're not obligated to. Or that was what I heard or read at the time. Maybe it changed.
But I see more cops using them in little speed trap towns I guess with nothing better to fuck with anybody for. -

im sure you have to sign away whatever rights you have when applying for a loan including having your information passed to repo agencies once you go delinquent. -

When I said this I specifically meant cops just sitting on the highway with one.
Traffic cameras I'm sure mostly do it too but aren't used as much for traffic violations. There's no telling what all kinds of spying shit they pair with traffic cameras. -

Good. I just read an article about a bust that involved someone that was providing info for temporary tags that dealerships use so that people can dodge this.
Either hustle and pay your bills, work to pay your bills, or do both. But dont try and hustle debt, especially with big banks. -

I've done old school repo in the 80s. I hooked up with a cat name of Cameron in Florida who a major repo operation in the state. He paid me $150 a pop to locate and place a magnetic GPS on targeted vehicles. Then the drivers could pick the safest easiest location for retrieval. -

GPS technology arent available to civilians in the 80s.
