Quote:
Similar to the one launched by the Island's MTA police two years ago, the $55,000 high-tech ride was funded by City Councilman James Oddo (R-Mid-Island/Brooklyn) to help combat quality-of-life crimes. The "vehicle" has helped nab dozens of graffiti vandals on and around the Staten Island Railroad.

"People should think long and hard before they do anything wrong, because we are watching."
Advance sources are mum on the exact make and model of the vehicle, but did say it is equipped with a periscope, digital cameras, recorders and some "neat computer stuff."

Expect taxes to go up for spy vans in your town too.

Graffiti artists view this sort of thing as a challenge. Bring that van, and let's see how long it lasts before it gets covered with tags!

A. You're LATE, John...

B. The contractors that built those vans ratted them out to the geek community almost immediately.

C. We've BEEN feeding them misinformation for as long as they've not figured out we're doing it.

D. Technology giveth, and technology taketh away, seriously, WTF did you think we built those HERF pistols FOR, dude ?

Also worthy of amusement, and replication, since you hate speed cameras as much or more than other surveillence...

This still works, simply borrow a car similar to any of the assholes who voted FOR this bullshit, and scan-scam the plate, then blow through the camera a couple times at 90+ MPH.

Then let them try to explain how "accurate" and "reliable" they are when they try to fight the ticket, ehe ?

Someone did that with the plate number OF one of the ticket vans, or I think it mighta been the actual plate off the damn thing, much kudos to their sneaky chutzpah.

The more wheels a-turnin in the engines of tyranny, John, the more damage little grains of sand are gonna DO - and the more they invest in the machinery, the less we have to clean up after we break it.

It cannot be said enough, those who do not learn from history, are doomed to endlessly repeat it

$55,000... maybe the car dealer is the graffiti artist?

Like the windshield repair company owner got caught smashing windows with a hammer to drum up business. A common scam.
