USPS To Install Road-Scanning Cameras in Delivery Trucks
Original: USPS To Put Cameras in Trucks That Scan Roads for ‘Community Safety’
The United States Postal Service plans to fit dashboard cameras to its delivery trucks that will scan roads, signs and surrounding infrastructure as vehicles make their rounds. The agency frames the program as a tool for community safety, but the plan is drawing attention over what data the cameras will collect, how long it will be kept, and whether routine mail routes could become a rolling surveillance network.
Why now: People are reacting to a government agency expanding camera-based street surveillance under the banner of safety.
