Got tired of my city putting up these mass surveillance devices everywhere, decided to take things into my own hands. If anyone has an idea for how I could put these to a less evil use, let me know!

Automated License Plate Readers (ALPRs) are AI-powered cameras that capture and analyze images of all passing vehicles, storing details like your car’s location, date, and time. They also capture your car’s make, model, color, and identifying features such as dents, roof racks, and bumper stickers, often turning these into searchable data points. These cameras collect data on millions of vehicles—regardless of whether the driver is suspected of a crime. While these systems can be useful for tracking stolen cars or wanted individuals, they are mostly used to track the movements of innocent people.

Some queer techie probably suggested that their mass surveillance should use green energy at the Palantir standup while assisting the fascists
Nazi or brain damaged?
I don't think those are mutually exclusive.
That's for sure. The venn diagram is fairly circular I'm sure.
Not all people with brain damage are Nazis.
Yeah, more like the Nazi circle is a smaller circle inside the brain damage one
Smaller circle(Nazis) inside a larger circle(brain damage).
Not all people with brain damage are Nazis, but all Nazis have brain damage.
Do you know how many so called fake leftists work at these tech shops helping build mass surveillance? Most tech I know everyone acts liberal then does whatever the fuck evil shit their company wants.
Green energy is just economics now. Even ticket vending machines need certified electric meters to connect to the mains on someone else's property so it's easier to give them a tiny panel and battery instead.
It's beyond economics. Solar panels keep working when the grid is down. Give it a battery that can run it for a week and a solar panel that can refill it in a week or two and it's only going down when it's physically downed.
Low power security infrastructure has been solar for a long time
Like the other person said, solar power is basically free. Yeah the panel and battery are expensive up front, but they then literally run for decades with basically no up keep at all.
Huh? You may be having an aneurysm
