Montreal police are quietly growing their network of AI-powered tools to track vehicles and people across the city, raising questions about public transparency and privacy rights.
A high-powered camera able to scan and identify vehicles was spotted earlier this week by a Radio-Canada reporter, on a lamp post along Henri-Bourassa Boulevard in Montreal’s Rivière-des-Prairies neighbourhood.
Car based scanners capable of running license plate searches at a high rate has been in use for some time If I recall correctly.
This Canadian version of a Flock style system means we the criminal public can be surveilled 24/7.
I wonder what Toronto’s police use?
