My stolen car was recovered last night thanks to facebook!

yours truly may be on the news discussing the effectiveness of FB solving this crime.

[heyuinthebush]

Yey!!! Where did they find it? P was saying last night one of your mates saw what appeared to be your car at a petrol station... Is it all okay?

So did the cops end up doing anything at all?

[aleks]

Car was recovered in Southlakes.....car is mildly damaged externally, dont know re the engine/gearbox yet

its at forensics getting tested as I type this

the police rocked up to the location after 2 hrs of being called......stolen vehicles arent a high priority

Did they manage to arrest anyone at the location?

What are your expectations from the police in regards to stolen property? Just out of curiosity.

[YT]

Got tickets to both Brissy and Melbs Radiohead shows.

[Curare]

Orly? care to sell?

[steve-o]

Fucking looking forward to this... been a long time coming.

[frogman]

Depends on the property. If the cops get a phone call that says "Hi, my car, that I reported stolen yesterday, is at this location right now." I would at least expect them to go out and have look, and not sit on their ass about it for hours.

If someone says "i lost my wallet" i dont expect them to drop everything and scour the city for it.

Fair call. So if the car was stolen and the whereabouts unknown, what would be your expectation then?

They add the numberplate to their funky automatic scanners, add it to the list of cars currently stolen, and go about their normal business.

Dont get me wrong, I dont expect cops to be supermen, but they literally had 99% of the difficult work done for them. All they had to do was show up in a timely manner, and they couldnt even do that. Piss poor effort IMO

[fatnick]

hmm, the difficult work is the confrontation, imo. This is where things can go wrong and get nasty, especially given the area/demographic etc. This is where they held back and delayed until it seemed easier to execute their job/recover the car.

When they were first called there was a 'gang' hovering around the car/area. I believe, to avoid confrontation they delayed their response? Aleks is this correct?

Dude, it's South Lake, they probably had to wait for a lull in the domestics before they could attend.

[frogman]

Wait so your argument is that cops dont want confrontations. What the fuck. Thats just bullshit. Cops love confrontations.

Automatic scanners? Sorry, I am not really that flush with all the cool technology cops get to use. I am imagining them driving around with this little laser thingy on their dash that scans every car they drive by and it scans the plate and checks if there are any outstanding warrants for the owner or something...? That's pretty fricking cool if it is!

Something like that except its camera mounted on the roof, and they dont have frickken laser beams on their heads. Its part of the reason why we dont need rego stickers any more.

Lasers or not... That is so cool!

The gadget nerd part of me thinks its a cool bit of kit.
The other bits think its approaching a slippery slope of privacy violations. Just think what happens if they just decide to add facial recognition to the system. I get that right now its just automating a process that was manual before, saving time and money and effort and blah blah blah, but iirc, before this system was introduced, cops needed a reason to run your plates. Now it just happens automatically.

[Kirky85]

pretty hard to scan your face while you are driving and they are in the car behind you?

[saki100]

making a korean bbq dinner date with fellow travelers in chiang mai makes me happy inside.

[Curare]

Yes, because all cars are behind you.

I get what you are saying, completely - I always feel outraged every time my ID is scanned at a nightclub. But they can use that scanning technology to potentially catch criminals, right? Isn't that a good thing?

[Kirky85]

where the lazer camera thing is located would assume that the car would have to be either infront - or to the side of the police car.

Metros freo scan your fingerprints as well.

PS. LOL at his car - hyundai excel.

1 - he is a fucking cockhead who thinks the sun shines out of his arse
2 - he beat his wife (on numerous occasions)

Oh.

Carry on.

oh jesus christ, no

there is absoolutely no justification to scan/id/fingerprint everyone, and load their data into a big database alongside criminals... just because criminals exist somewhere

it is minority report style, pre-crime bullshit and it is NOT ok

[heyuinthebush]

When I say potentially, I mean people that have arrest warrants out for them, as an example. There would be a database for mug shots they would be comparing this stuff to right?

edit: and this would probably only be useful in the instance they have a criminal record I guess.

[nosaj D:]

Also if anyone glasses someone its much easier to find their details

[BLEGH!]

agree.

The longer I can keep my finger-prints out of the system, the easier it will be to committ crime if I choose to, later on in life when i'm old and bored.

This is just an extension of the "if you have done nothing wrong, you have nothing to worry about" line of reasoning, which is bullshit in so many ways.

Yes its a good thing. That also depend on the police not abusing it. Which cant be depended upon.

When I say potentially, I mean people that have arrest warrants out for them, as an example. There would be a database for mug shots they would be comparing this stuff to right?

And who decides who goes in that database? The cops. So once again we are back to "lets hope that cops dont get too power hungry and abusive" which is a dangerous thing to hope for.

I know I have an extremely rose tinted view of the police force, and I also appreciate the potential for exploitation but I can't ignore the potential for how this will change the way criminals or people of interest will be identified on the road.

I edited my post after you posted this but I meant to suggest that the database is of people with prior records. I couldn't imagine how it would be effective otherwise, and I would also imagine that manipulation or abuse of the system might be more apparent as well if there wasn't that type of system.

[nosaj D:]

I did ask once how long the records are kept from the ID scanners of clubs, but the guys at the door dont know supposedly

[Kirky85]

never been there,

im old!

[flauntster]

if they want to stop crime at clubs, why dont they just upgrade all their cctv cameras to a reputable brand.. ie one which doesnt fuck up every time a bouncer beats the fuck out of someone :P

once you've got the ability to scan license plates and photograph the faces driving (afaik this is probably legal for anyone to do)

you could start logging that linked data... then when someone commits a crime, you go to that database, figure out which cars they've driven most recently, and you have a very good starting point for finding them

so, crims'd probably just start riding motorcycles
