A company called City Detect is outfitting municipalities with cameras to give homes a "blight score," effectively turning a whole city into an HOA.

    Then they better freaking make the garbage contractors do the rest of their job, not just the pickups, but also keeping things tidy. They make and leave behind such a mess. When they used to be government employees they were actually “sanitation workers” and responsible for more than just collection, or at least would clean up the messes they made and were sure to fully empty the bins every time.

        Yeah and it’s not that I’m blaming the workers, far from it. The issue is the contractors create such strick timelines and quotas so they can pay them as little as possible that they don’t have time to do any of the stuff that government workers did have time for a couple of decades ago. If the companies are going to hold homeowners responsible for so many nitpicky things so they can charge them more, then they better hold themselves as responsible and do the full job that we pay for through taxes and garbage bills.

    I guess they are now both literally and figuratively garbage trucks.

        Reminds me of “grok”. I used to love that word, then weird dick used it for his world-burning fascist slop factory.

        interesting. I’ve heard of clocking a cars speed. Never heard of it for recognizing. Learn something new every day.

    I don’t get it, what would the city base a fine on? If not part of a HOA, then what’s the legal mechanism to be able to issue a fine?

      My city has rules about all kinds of things, much like an HOA would.

      Once I got a letter from my city because my trash cans were on my driveway.

      My neighbor gets violation notices for his grass all the time.

        What happens if you just ignore the letters? Can the city just evict you from your own property?

          Probably fines first, and if it’s bad enough, the city could foreclose or condemn the property.

          Mostly fines though.

    Garbage trucks have had cameras for a while now; just not fed into Ai for the nickels and the dimes.

    Garbage trucks get run into or brake-checked aggressively, and they need the dashcam to show the entrapment. I dunno about you, but I was stunned to hear that people specifically target rubbish trucks.
