It’s called profilingI’m from New Mexico… I’ve lived in Indiana most of my life though.
Year’s ago I picked up a “license” plate with the NM state flag on it for my front bumper on my Jeep.
I don’t drive reckless, don’t speed… rarely in a hurry. I’m a defensive driver… I ride my Harley year round when it’s not zero digits. Safe driver/rider!
In the 1st month of having that NM plate on the front bumper of my Jeep…
I was pulled over repeatedly until I finally took the plate off. It hangs on my garage wall now.
I talked to a LEO buddy of mine and he said that South West US vehicles are targeted for drug trafficking.
I can’t enjoy my plate because of the damned dope dealers!
Saw one of these on 267 headed into Brownsburg the other day...A Zionsville camera.
Funny you mention itCurious, what if my license plate is obscured by mud\dirt, gravel, etc. making it unreadable? It would seem difficult to prove this was done purposefully or maliciously.

Im against readers for starters, the good you ask?ELIMINATE crime? How's that work? How does reading the plate ELIMINATE crime?
It doesnt. It helps catch a perp after the fact, but it doesnt ELIMINATE it.
Somebody buy those morons a dictionary.
Funny you mention it
After watching the video of folks who obscured their plates I noticed a theme... quite a few of the folks doing do were law enforcement.
The are solar powered all over - see the link I shared a few posts above.... I've also seen the same ones in Illinois and Michigan....The ones in Portage are solar powered. As long as the sun shines those lil turds are compiling data on us subjects.
Well, except the video seemed to mention that people were creating the _perception_ that the vehicle was related to law enforcement, MTA, etc, without that being noted as a substantiated fact at the point where I left the video.Not surprising, law enforcement often think themselves above the law anyways so how much of a leap is it to skirting tolls?
You probably don't know anything about other countries, I would say we have least amount of cameras around, for example, read about russian/chinese trackingGreenwood has them, and it was just posted that Franklin is doing the same. Big Brother is definitely spreading out.
Typically a LPR and CCTV are not the same. It has to do with exposure and contrast. Especially at night, you cant get a good view of the car and driver and not have the plate washed out from the reflective coating and vice versa on a standard surveillance camera.While i was checking Indiana road conditions to see if way I planned to go was flooded. Somehow, I got into road cameras they are all over the state and in rest areas. I do not know if all can read plates.
Other places being worse does not make what is done here OK.You probably don't know anything about other countries, I would say we have least amount of cameras around, for example, read about russian/chinese tracking
IDK, I've been in one of these countries last summer and my car was opened and some important staff inside was stolen, and you know what? Police actually found them and I got everything back. You know what was funny about this situation? It was 2 boys around 8-9 years. I'm serious. They had some electronic door opener and were opening old type of cars (20-25 years old) in 2 seconds. So after this situation, I actually decided not to be 100% against camerasOther places being worse does not make what is done here OK.
Ah yes. Give up freedom to "feel" safe. I'm not 100% against cameras. I have a number of them on my property. I am against the government using them to keep track of what their citizens are doing.IDK, I've been in one of these countries last summer and my car was opened and some important staff inside was stolen, and you know what?
