This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
When I lived in San Diego, I got a ticket for not paying the toll on an LA freeway I wasn't within 100 miles of.
This shit is a fucking trend, everyone. Lucky for me, the person driving that car didn't murder anyone.
Edit: the car wasn't the same as mine, and the plate was visibly wrong. Just full on fucking bullshit.

due to the injustice stated in the post, 10 random prisoners will be released
This is an excellent quote for the context.
Police should be held individually accountable
Make em get practice insurance just like doctors and nurses, and I think lawyers are also insured for their jobs.
Most professions where you hold the future of another human in your hands require some kind of insurance, except for police. Yet a cop can mistakenly arrest you, drag your name through the newspapers and the mud, hell even shoot you for no good reason, and then walk away like that didn’t just ruin your life just as badly as a surgeon cutting off the wrong leg, or a nurse overdosing you cause they fucked up the math.
Make cops carry insurance. If they can’t afford the premiums or get dropped for being to risky, well then they can go pound sand.
These systems are meant to be used against you. Police will never volunteer information that helps you.
In theory the police want to investigate crime and eliminate suspects, but in practice they give up after making an arrest. The access to new technology or information change nothing about this practice.
This is why it’s important to curb these kinds of dystopian surveillance systems in the first place. They change nothing and give reach for further unwarranted intrusions into the lives of citizens. This has been seen as cops using these systems to stalk people.
Sort of. They are required to provide exculpatory evidence... but they only have to provide that information for the trial so you can prepare your defense, not during the active investigation.
Look no further than your Miranda rights: "anything you say can and will be used against you."
Police: Here to do jack shit, since the start!
Sue the shit out their incompetent asses
...and then sue the camera company and then sue the city or property owner that allowed the cameras to be in use and then use the money to buy a politician to write and pass a law to disallow warrantless surveillance.
The police exist to protect capital and the capital class. They're not incompetent, they're doing their job just fine.
Hence: All cops are bastards.
This is an interesting corollary to the "anything you say can only be used against you in court" adage.
The irony is off the charts.
