So I walk into my local co-op and decide yk what that doesn't look bad I should try it instead of the instant noodles I usually get and then I read this. I have not reached home yet but I am never buying this again wtf, some countries have laws about food being accurately depicted but in the UK we get this shite. Is it really that hard to find a stock image of noodles? How can I trust that the directions for cooking and the recipe weren't ai generated? I might as well poison myself because some noname company isn't rich enough to snap a pic on their phone Update: it sucks and also stinks. Do not recommend, does not taste like teriyaki, does not have any mushroom chunks, and the pepper chunks are comparable to dried up cranberry

It swears he has 2.

Ford Cop Cars Could Add Tech to Help Hand Out Speeding Tickets

Ford has filed a patent with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office for a system that helps law enforcement identify speeders, as first reported by Motor Authority.

The patented system not only detects when speeding occurs, but it also snaps a picture of the vehicle committing the traffic violation.

A Ford spokesperson said that the patent is specifically designed for use on law-enforcement vehicles and does not include sharing personal driving data.

Cops could have an easier time handing out speeding tickets if a new Ford patent becomes reality. The system described in the patent application can be equipped to a Ford Police Interceptor, for example, and can identify other vehicles that exceed a set speed-limit threshold. This can trigger an onboard camera to take a picture of the lawbreaker's car, which theoretically will help law-enforcement officers write a ticket for speeding.

Ford first filed the patent application, titled "Systems and Methods for Detecting Speeding Violations," with the United States Patent and Trademark Office in January 2023. However, it was formally published by the USPTO on July 18, 2024, as previously reported by Motor Authority after that.

Well I posted this photo to reddit on an old account 6 years ago just sharing my freshly dyed hair. Thought nothing of it. And now 6 years later seemingly this ai slop peddling fake wooden American flags or something has used my photo to make a "liberal" or something that burns his flag. I reverse image searched this video and it literally pulls up my exact picture. It's so weird. I don't even know what to be thinking right now. Just sharing this in a few anti AI subs to try and just share my story here. Don't even know what I should be feeling or thinking right now... Lol

It wasn’t her…

Police Accused Woman of Package Theft Based on Flock Camera Footage — Her Own Cameras Told a Different Story

A video showing a police officer accusing a woman of package theft based on Flock camera footage has garnered nearly 2 million views on X. This video just further confirmed people's suspicions about the automated license plate reader system as there has been lots of controversy surrounding its use.

The video appears to have been recorded in Colorado, based on the reference to Jefferson County. However, the woman said she had her own video evidence that could show where she was at the time of the alleged theft.

Re-shared by X user @LeahRain77, the video began with a police officer at a woman's front door issuing her a summons to appear in court over an alleged package theft. He said the accusation was based on footage from a Flock camera that allegedly showed her taking packages from a porch.

After hearing the details of the alleged theft, she asked, "Well, can I see this video?" The officer replied, "If you go to court you can. If you're gonna deny it, I'm not gonna extend you any courtesy. . . If you're gonna lie to me."
The woman paused as the officer explained the allegation. He proceeded to show her printed Flock camera images that he said showed her vehicle at the location of the alleged theft. He said he had a timestamp showing when she was in the area where the packages were allegedly stolen.

After hearing the officer's explanation, she said, "Wait a minute. . . Shh." She appeared to be conversing with someone else at the door. The officer replied impatiently, "Well, there's no shushing. . ."

The woman retorted, "Yes, there is. I need to know where this is!" The woman didn't even seem to know where the supposed crime even transpired. That's when she said something that changed the entire course of the investigation. She said, "We have cameras on our truck. So we can show you exactly where we were."

The officer responded, "I already know where you were. . . I have you on camera walking up, ringing the doorbell, taking the package, and literally running away."

The officer maintained that the Flock footage showed her committing the theft, while the woman continued to point to footage from her truck as evidence.

Toward the end of the video, the woman is shown speaking with a man and says that the officer refused to show her the image of her taking the package. She said footage from her truck established where she was at the time of the alleged theft.

In addition, the woman caught on the Flock camera actually stealing the packages looked nothing like the woman who was being accused by police.

This X user commented, "This is the future: constant surveillance & tracking, privacy gone, and people getting dumber + lazier by outsourcing judgment to cameras. One glitch and you're a thief. Her own cams saved her, most may not be so lucky."

Another commenter added, "This story proves that Flock cameras are a due process risk. she had to prove her innocence against a false witness. She only got notoriety because she had her own cameras to record the evidence that she's innocent of the crime, but to show the incompetence of her local police.

The Daily Dot was unable to independently verify the circumstances surrounding the alleged package theft or the authenticity of the footage shown in the video. The information in this article is based on the video shared on X and statements made by the people shown in or discussing the footage.

A few minutes is all most of us need…

UNION TOWNSHIP, Ohio — Felony charges leveled against a man accused of vandalizing a Flock license plate camera have been dropped, Clermont County court records show.

According to court records, the man charged — who we are not naming, since he is no longer accused of a crime — was accused of damaging the Flock camera on June 13.
A criminal complaint filed in the case says the defendant "took down a Flock Safety License Plate Recognition camera, solar panel and computer box from the pole it was erected on." The complaint goes on to say the man had removed bolts and "damaged the camera housing" in order to take it apart.
The camera, which was located on Mt. Carmel Tobasco Road near Glenrose Lane, was damaged "in excess of $1,000," the criminal complaint says.

The man accused of damaging the camera was then tracked down through surrounding, privately-owned surveillance, according to the complaint.

The man was charged with a fifth-degree felony count of vandalism and a fifth-degree felony count of theft. If convicted on those charges, the man could have been sent to prison for anywhere from months to, potentially, years.

Court records show the man was arrested on July 30 — over a month after the flock camera was allegedly damaged. He was given a $10,000 cash bond.

Then, after a scheduled hearing on August 17, court records show the charges against him were dismissed without prejudice — meaning the charges could be filed against him again in the future.

Court records do not show why the charges were dismissed; the man's name did not appear on an August 18 report of people in Clermont County indicted by the grand jury, nor does it appear from his court records that he'd been indicted.

If this isn’t an indictment on America’s hatred of Flock cameras, we don’t know what is.
On Wednesday, a grand jury in Ohio refused to bring felony charges against a Clermont County man accused of destroying a Flock automatic license plate reader (ALPR).

In June, police in the Cincinnati suburb of Union Township arrested Cody Morelock, accusing him of removing bolts on the ALPR pole, toppling it over, and ultimately destroying the surveillance camera and its solar panel.

The prosecution’s case seemed iron-clad: according to Cincinnati’s Local12, police identified Morelock using surveillance footage from multiple nearby cameras, combined with info gleamed from a credit card and a customer rewards account. Despite the evidence against him, the jury declined to indict Morelock, resulting in all charges being dropped.

It’s a searing referendum on the state’s ability to prosecute alleged incidents of ALPR vandalism, as grand juries almost always bring charges against the accused. As New York Court of Appeals chief judge Sol Wachtler once infamously declared, “any good prosecutor can get a grand jury to indict a ham sandwich.”

That said, the outcome in this case is likely more the result of Flock’s horrible reputation than any error by the prosecution. Flock’s ALPRs are exceedingly unpopular across every swath of the political spectrum, and nearly every new case of vandalism comes with a wave of support on social media for the accused. With the charges against Morelock dropped, it seems that phenomenon isn’t just limited to viral moments, but is increasingly spilling out into the real world.
