New 'discreet' Cameras in RVA
This is the camera that’s a couple meters from my window.
“Each FlashCam digital camera is a nondescript, gray metal box capped with a small solar panel. Its manufacturer, Q-Star Technology, recommends installing them 18-20 feet above the ground. It takes 12-megapixel photos, clear enough to identify people and capture a license plate number more than 250 feet away in total darkness, Q-Star’s website says.”
11 of these fuckers were installed last month all over town.
“Each solar-powered camera snaps a series of still photos when it detects motion in an area known for illegal activity.”
There’s one *RIGHT* outside my house on Henry st. When ever anything passes near it I hear screaming right through my window: “THIS IS THE CITY OF RICHMOND POLICE.” blah blah blah “LEAVE THE AREA NOW.” in a very strong tone of voice. I’d like to see if the city is breaking it’s very own (and new) noise control law by installing these.
Of course this also means that the City of Richmond Police Department has total access to a camera that records EVERY time I leave or enter my house. This includes EVERY person that ever enters or leaves my house. I’m pissed.
