A woman drives with both hands on the wheel. Her phone sits face-down on her lap. No officer pulls her over. No lights flash. Weeks later, a $1,251 ticket arrives in the mail. The evidence: a single frame from a Camera surveillance app. The charge: phone use while driving.
Automated camera companies market their devices as automated license plate readers — tools for catching stolen cars, flagging warrants, and aiding serious investigations.
Sold as a Crime Tool. Used as a Fine Machine.
… So. To the internet?
Image recognition is not computationally cheap. There are more and less expensive ways to do it, but the absolute floor of it turns your phone into a hot plate. So whatever’s in there would need to be at least a phone chip.
So it is kept and stored.

You don’t know what the hell you’re talking about, which is fine, but why are you speaking confidently and assuming such good will about proven constant brazen liars saying they’re not doing the shit they literally always do?
Lmao.
You can literally detect phones with a raspberryPi the idea that you need to upload it to a server is ridiculous.
You can ‘detect phones’ via anything with WiFi. Are you trolling? Do you not understand the difference between image processing and simpler more computer readable signals?
You don’t know what the fuck you’re talking about. How are so many people so rabidly and confidently ignorant?
OpenCV is more than capable of detecting a phone AND can easily be run on a PI with a frame rate high enough for traffic monitoring.
I dunno man, what made you that way?
Do you understand what a pi is?
Is an SBC with miniscule processing power, far less than a dedicated phone detection camera would have.
How does that help you dig you’re way out of this hole you’ve dug by claiming it’s impossible to locally process images?
No. You’re thinking of an arduino. Or one of the company’s lines of microcontrollers, which isn’t what people mean when they say ‘a pi’.
A raspberry pi is basically a phone equivalent. Different architecture, but same magnitude of flops. The versions with enough ram cost about aw much as a phone and don’t come with storage or power cable. Both of which you would need, so add an m.2 drive for the referents.
And a box fan under it and a copper brick to glue to the CPU, maybe another for the RAM, because its gonna get hot.
But you don’t know what any of those words mean, and don’t understand that other sensors exist. But like if you did understand any of what I said; you’d feel mortified as fuck right now.
Dude WTF are you on about? I’ve run openCV on Pi-zeros.
I think you need to lay of the Rich & Morty, it’s clearly causing you brain damage.
No. Chatgpt told you someone else has done that. And it’s probably even true, under roughly the circumstances I described.
