I've been considering this for a while. Nice to see it happening.
But, it needs to be categorised.
License plates. Facial recognition. Private. Government. Etc
Hell yeah. Except every cop and traffic camera has the ability. So that's gonna be alot of mapping. Probably impossible given cop cars and LEO are on the move constantly.
Instead of making a whole new software why not just add number plate cameras to the osm database and make a software that pulls them out and makes it convenient to read?
Because that could easily make OSM banned in most countries?
Not really you can just download the osm world file and start your own instance.
Why?
I think it's obvious.
Can you ban FOSS apps nowadays?
Yes especially if it's Australia.
Yeah it would be bad if that happened. Governments really hate privacy.
It's not just about privacy. In this case it's also about law evasion and possible hiding assistance.
Is this like a automated toll system? Because we have them all over our highways.
It depends on the country I think? We have them too, but we don't have road tolls. They're used to monitor traffic and actual tracking if the police is looking for a specific licence plate in relation to a crime here.
They just check if you have sticker or they scan the license plates if you've bought the highway mark. They look like cameras hung on iron plates.
If you want privacy and you drive a car, I got bad news for you. Public Transit is privacy.
