An unseen threat to street skateboarding
« on: November 27, 2017, 09:38:14 AM »
Cue your tinfoil hat, actually, don't. Getting kicked out of spots by security as they film us, scoffing at the CCTV cameras at empty schools pointed directly at our faces and ignoring them because who cares if you are on camera.

However, this has all changed with social media. Companies capable of instantly matching your face to a database of Instagram, Facebook, or scraped web images. Targetting the SPOT skater database for instance. We saw that one kid who ollied onto that fancy car get his identity revealed pretty quickly (then again he did post the footage on his own personal account).

Perhaps the Barrier Kult has been at the forefront of future masked street skateboard sessions.



Grind a ledge on private property and 2 days later get a ticket in the mail with a frame grab of you breaking the law.

Dystopic or future reality?

I was skating around town and one of those backflipping robots came outta nowhere and kicked my ass, so you're probably onto something.

A spot I skate nightly has security cameras and I do worry about this happening.  It is coming but from what I hear reliable facial recognition technology is still a few years out.  If you have the time to kill this article talks a bit about the difficulty of using cctv to actually arrest someone:

Micro in the Punisher was able to match people’s gait.  They’re not far from analyzing our push.  Better switch it up and push mongo every once in a while just to keep em guessing

Those who would give up essential style, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither insta likes nor Safety.


also even if the tools were viable enough to be useful the amount implementing and utilizing the system would cost more than the amount of damage skateboarders would do to the property.  it makes no economic sense.

I don't think skateboarding is serious enough for us to worry about this, but if you are going to be doing some serious vandalism ex: making a spot skateable, bonds, cutting kinks, taking off knobs, then you should definitely be carful of camera systems watching you

Yeah, because every school has a dedicated skater detective that uses multiple sources to identify every skateboarder on their property. I mean, most school budgets can barely afford to hire nurses or librarians, and in the bay, most schools have a teacher shortage because they can’t compete when it comes to salaries, but they DEFINITELY spend extra money to hire people to look back over footage from an entire weekend, go over every individual they spot, and compare them to a universal facial recognition system.
Even if/when this becomes possible, I find it hard to believe any school will implement it. Most of those cameras aren’t even there for outsiders, they are there to catch students trying to ditch or fighting during recess.
You know there is already a way LAUSD could arrest hundreds of skaters based on this logic right? They could literally just do monthly visits to the Thrasher site, and see plenty of “evidence” with skater’s names right under them. They don’t.
I’m going to stop now, because I’ve already given this asenine topic too much credence.

I know he's on point regarding this : there's a good chance none of us will ever get to experience such tyranny. Nothing wrong with trying to predict the future, though. I personally loved 1984.

Ha, some funny responses in here.

The French Quarters in New Orleans has a 24 hour monitored surveillance system and they are working on allowing private individuals and businesses to contribute their video feeds to the service:
http://www.theadvocate.com/new_orleans/news/crime_police/article_d0288312-cee1-11e7-af0a-8769895f8988.html

There is a site anyone can use to match photos with faces on Russia's biggest social networking site, http://findface.ru/ . If you have a public profile on that site and you piss off someone who then snaps a photo of ya, you're vulnerable.

Just putting this out there as we are going to see more of these systems installed worldwide.
