Submission + - San Francisco Police Are Using Driverless Cars as Mobile Surveillance Cameras (vice.com)
BeerFartMoron writes: For the last five years, driverless car companies have been testing their vehicles on public roads. These vehicles constantly roam neighborhoods while laden with a variety of sensors including video cameras capturing everything going on around them in order to operate safely and analyze instances where they don't.
While the companies themselves, such as Alphabet’s Waymo and General Motors’ Cruise, tout the potential transportation benefits their services may one day offer, they don’t publicize another use case, one that is far less hypothetical: Mobile surveillance cameras for police departments.
“Autonomous vehicles are recording their surroundings continuously and have the potential to help with investigative leads,” says a San Francisco Police department training document obtained by Motherboard via a public records request. “Investigations has already done this several times.”

It's only simulating the rotors of a pre war enigma that could be beaten by some bigram tables and/or a crib.
Still top marks for a circuit bent crypto project.

Also allow open wireless access for staff devices on a separate network and provide terminals.
All whining stops and people are happy.
Lock down the tools sure but in the medical world the bitching about "research" can send you to an early grave.
