While being recorded from 6 different angles while standing next to your vehicle with a license plate on it?

You get arrested. That’s what happens.

Kiosk makers have already thought of all of these possibilities. There isn’t a nicely exposed speaker. It’s behind a metal plate with tiny holes in it.

For petty vandalism? That seems like an expensive overreaction.

Perhaps it depends on your demography.

People get arrested for petty vandalism all the time, even if they didn't petty vandalize.

The police won't bother to track down who graffitied your fence, but money-making companies are a different matter.

And it definitely depends on demography. I assume they're still using it, but maybe they just plug everyone's face into Palantir now.

		Maybe cops are different where you live, but here in Seattle, I cannot imagine a crime so trivial as "someone broke the speaker on a gas pump" ever rising high enough on the SPD priority list for anyone to lift a finger about it, no matter how well-documented it may have been. It would not surprise me to hear that someone had committed a crime of that scale while being watched by an SPD officer and still gotten away with it.
