A worrying part of this is companies in #Hungary are *good* at building #surveillance #tech; they already supply a very effective #ANPR app that anyone can download to their mobile phone (and the company making this is thriving and hiring, although their jobs page is in Hungarian).

I could not find any statements they are making facial recognition products, but this might not be something they publicise widely (and other companies will also make such products)

I know there's legal/privacy issues, but there are times I feel the Police /should/ name and shame commercial companies who are driving work #vans around without #insurance (the driver claimed to the officers he only bought the #van that day, but it already had his companys branding *and* he was wearing a branded T-shirt 🤡 ).

If this "entrepreneur" doesn't bother to insure the van, what other insurance is he lacking for the #building work he is doing?

The new #AI equipped #ANPR #camera #vans using tech developed in #Australia will be deployed by #WestMidlands #Police - they can apparently spot #speeding , seatbelt violations, #mobilephone use and even #DUI ! (probably by monitoring those who are driving erratically and not keeping to correct lanes)

Vans cost £47 000 each (cheaper than I had expected, a plain new van (without any Police equipment is £35k) #RoadSafety #Surveillance #UK

Is this really an "epidemic" of #DUI involving #drugs in #Britain - or just the case that the #Police are fairly effective at selecting their targets when they do conduct roadside stops (perhaps using #ANPR linked with #intelligence data?)

There is often sporadic enforcement and a lack of RPU (roads policing unit) resources as well as stubbornness and psychological #addiction so folk probably get complacent and think they can get away with it

#AI #traffic #surveillance #cameras designed in #Australia and also used in #Aotearoa / #NZ have been trialled in #Devon and #Cornwall #UK - they can detect #mobile #phone use, #seatbelt violations and its now claimed they can even detect #DUI (possibly through monitoring unusual driving such as not keeping constant speeds / straying out of correct lanes) on top of the usual #ANPR capabilities.. #cars #motoring #RoadSafety
