From Trump campaign signs to Planned Parenthood bumper stickers, license plate readers around the US are creating searchable databases that reveal Americansâ political leanings and more.
The reader to which I was referring, is the entire system, to include the server-side processing. If itâs able to create a searchable db of political standings, we should assume itâs able to trim excess characters.
However, Iâm not telling you what to do at all. I donât know how they operate; Iâm just making assumptions based on what they said and my knowledge of the processes used. Basically, just adding to the general knowledge pool, so someone smarter than I will have more data to make a more informed decision.
The article gave me the opposite impression. Basically their database contains lawn signs and bumper stickers on accident - they save all images where text is found but they keep it just in case it had a license plate (because they arenât sure what is or isnât a license plate). These kinds of databases are so massive thereâs little to no human eyes on images. Anyway I donât think it would be very hard to send garbage into their database.
