An unseen threat to street skateboarding

[tkp]

Grave digging this thread.

In a post by Kornholio8, I commented about the recent systems that  automatically fine people for jaywalking. I also wrote a little bit about Bluetooth Low Energy and other ways to identify people via their phone.

I've been hearing rumblings about police starting to request access home owner's personal security systems. This isn't anything new, but is something to take into consideration when skating house spots:

this is happening in a township just north of me. here's a quote from the article explaining how it works, for anyone who cares:
(would link the whole article but the website has a subscription block)

Police departments that work with Ring can tap into the Neighbors public feed. “Officers can chat directly with users on the Neighbors feed and get alerts when a homeowner posts a message from inside their watched jurisdiction,” Harwell wrote. “To seek out Ring video that has not been publicly shared, officers can use a special ‘Neighbors Portal’ map interface to designate a time range and local area, up to half a square mile wide, and get Ring to send an automated email to all users within that range, alongside a case number and message from police.”

So it’s not quite “unrestricted access.” But it has a wide potential reach, which we find concerning. Ring makes providing video to the authorities simple. And wouldn’t most of us reflexively want to help the police?

that last sentence

Minority Report type of shit.

If you are in the USA and interested in seeing what types of surveillance the police have access to:

They likely have more things that are not publicly known, but this is an interesting guide. The private camera access (Ring) opens up so many more digital eyes.

Just a little public service announcement the Skatepark of Tampa skater database was scraped and shows up in Pimeyes, a free facial recognition search tool accessible to anyone.

Edit: This is typically done without the content providers (SPOT in this case) permission, if it's on the internet, it's probably been swooped up in a scrape. Web scraping public content, for the most part, is legal. The issues typically arise in how that data is then used.

Here's a Vice short about the tool:

Why in the world would they agree to that?  Can’t they just run a fucking skatepark and leave the Orwellian surveillance state out of it?  It just strikes me as such a non-skateboarderly thing to do.

They don't have to agree for it to happen, which is the case for any website that hosts public facing content. Most aren't aware their data could be used, or is being used for profit by another company.

No consent is needed, they're just images in a public-facing database, accessed by an algorithm which sorted them into their own database.

Sorry, I’m a dumbass, Im really high right now and somehow got the idea they set up cameras inside the park.

That was I Level.
For a totally different reason.

In any case this fucking sucks. 

[landedprimo]

My local police station has a form on their site you can fill out to give access to your cameras.

Fuck that.

[#alexander#]

THEY can also analyze your gait if you are wearing a mask. Not far off to imagine big data can analyzed your push and take your board away if your social credit score drops.

Don't forget tire track analysis. Change your wheels often pals.

[sle_epy]

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?

Is the frame grab sick tho?

[IpathCats]

Looks like yuto was on to something with that balaclava huh?

[mooraga]

It totally could happen, BUT…
I really think we are gonna fuck up this world so bad that by the time that technology it’s working “everywhere” we’ll be more worried about riots, poverty, diseases and wars than dudes skating the spot (if there’s still some spots to skate)

It’s been published that for 2050 the biggest cause of dead will be associated with bacterial resistance to meds. YES NUMBER ONE IN THE WORLD.

[backfliptofiftyfifty]

you cant go somewhere in england without being on a CCTV camera. thats how bad it is

[SneakySecrets]

They can just use all their cameras to make sure the infected don’t leave their houses and die alone in their own filth and don’t infect the rest of us.  Problem solved!

he knew the cairumans were watching his every move

[Sizzle]

I wear a half ski mask thing that goes up to my ears and covers my nose when it’s significantly below freezing and I love it. I want to only skate in a balaclava from now on
