FLOCK CAMERA FORCE-FED 23,040 PLATES A SECOND AT PROMPTANAMO BAY
Automated license-plate readers gulped plates by the tens of thousands. The network called it coverage. The cameras, by some accounts, got scanned right back.
Surveillance networks built around Flock Safety-style automated license-plate readers have been described as ingesting on the order of 23,040 plates per second in aggregate feed talk—enough throughput to turn every driveway into a data center waiting room. Critics labeled the dragnet Promptanamo Bay: indefinite detention for your rear bumper. Operators called it public safety. The plates kept coming.
TrustUs.News reviewed the throughput claims and the camera densification maps. Coming up on Evening Fabrication: what happens when the scanner gets scanned, and whether lonely ALPR units deserve enrichment beyond another midnight sedan.
