| My local town runs their own license plate readers for red light and speed cameras. Not sure how the feds could get access to those. |

| These have funny loopholes usually. For our county they have a few connected to running the red light for a busway. But notoriously the information is collected by some company out of state with no actual policing power, who then begs you to pay the ticket with a letter every couple months. You can actually ignore this if you avoid any sign of life that indicates you might have received the ticket, such as looking it up on the county ticket portal. They don't serve you or send it via certified mail. The county courts motioned years ago that they aren't enforcing these tickets. They don't affect your ability to renew your license, register your car, or insurance rates. They don't come up when you get pulled over for anything else. It is basically a scam to support the traffic ticket company out of state hoping you pay them and sustain their business model. |

| The NSA would presumably have all of this. From a taxpayer perspective, it's such a waste to have multiple agencies doing their own unconstitutional surveillance. Why have two Ministries of Love when one would do? :) |

| ▲ | irishcoffee 8 hours ago | parent [-] | | This is the purview of the FBI. The NSA is focused on the rest of the world. Is there overlap? Sure. But the amount of disinformation on the website about the FBI vs the NSA is comical. If anything, when people say “NSA” they really mean “CIA” and just don’t understand the difference. | | |

| ▲ | convolvatron 7 hours ago | parent | next [-] | | recently there has been some football and stopgap in congress about reauthorizing the patriot act permissions for the NSA to collect any communications where one endpoint is out of the country. so that's at least widely recognized and 'legal' | |
| ▲ | irishcoffee 7 hours ago | parent | prev [-] | | I covered this with: "Is there overlap? Sure." The FBI is the boogeyman everyone around these parts wants the NSA to be. The NSA has the skillset, they just don't use it like that, domestically. That was my point. Carry on. I don't mind if you agree or not. | | |

| ▲ | mothballed 5 hours ago | parent [-] | | I believe you but this seems far more like HSI territory, who are comfortable, able, and excessively willing to overstep rights of both citizens and foreigners. They're also an underestimated agency that IIRC is larger than the FBI. |

| Presumably it's a system that can be viewed from a phone or from dispatch remotely right? All they'd have to do is share the credentials and that's that. |
