This week we continue our investigation into VIPR.ai Automated License Plate Reader Technology, the largest surveillance network you’ve never heard of. In this video we share a shortened version of a presentation VIPR owner Sean Petty made to IPVM in 2023 where he goes into how his technology works. Then, he walks through a product demo that showcases the abilities with a run through of what a search looks like.

We also go over clearance rates going back to 2018 to show what impact, if any, the VIP system had on actually solving crimes. Then, local attorney Sam Stretton shares his concerns with the lack of regulation on this technology.

Josh Gordon gives this week’s sports report which is focused on the East Side Little League’s historic trip to the Little League World Series.

Don’t forget, school is back in session!

Editors note: In the original publication of this video, the source of the presentation was mistakingly labeled IVPM, when the source is, in fact, IPVM. They are a Pennsylvania based research organization focused on physical security. That has been corrected in this version.
