  • I agree it’s a stupid hack, but there are good reasons to use public addresses in your local environment too: for example you’ll need it for any roaming device like a laptop or a phone. It also vastly simplifies certificate management where you can just use sour existing publicly valid certs to access your services.

    The only proper solution would probably be ipv6, but that’s not trivial either.







  • The thing is though you could have both, at least to a degree. You could have much more transparent policing, the cameras could do processing purely locally and based on publicly accessible lists with listed reasons for why the given plates are captured, you could make it so that the only ones who do get the data are actually thr police and not thr company selling the cameras, etc.

    But that’s not in the interest of Flock, or even really the powers that be. The surveillance machine needs feeding, doesn’t matter for what cost.
