Cyclists

Goes back to my point. Most people don't have an issue catching criminals, but they don't want to turn Ireland into a police state in order to do so. Id wager you are in a minority here.

Most people wouldn't have a issue with the Gardai using every possible method to catch criminals. At the the risk of repeating myself, the only ones that fear or have issues with facial recognition are those that break the law.

Not an opinion, but a fact.

And again, The Police were wrong, were they ??

That question was not posed to you Wank that was for Rox, but of course as a crotch cam enthusiastic like yourself, can you take your mind off that image for a minute and read what that Police Officer said in his reply

I see you cropped out the piece where they said that the officers were wrong on what they said?

Spoofer alert!

I was well aware of bike-sharing schemes around the world that has a QR code on a bike, that one can use via your phone and an app to unlock said bike. I know this because I've used them countless times on the continent.

That is a very different thing to having hundreds of thousands of cameras on roads to catch cyclists breaking the law.

People are conflating two different things.

You tried to claim that there'd be no way of identifying individual bicycles cycled at speeds of 20 to 30kmph. Nobody (other than you obviously) suggested an identifying mark as small as a stamp, but this QR code which individually identifies each bicycle would certainly suffice. And again you try to move the goal posts and suggest hundreds of thousands of cameras on roads to catch cyclists breaking the law. What's been suggested is the technology the gardai use to identify up to 6 cars per second travelling at much faster speeds could be utilised to catch and prosecute cyclists who don't obey the ROTR. Just as with motorists, cyclists that follow the ROTR would have nothing to fear.
You seemed chuffed that the technology was being used against motorists, but now it's shown that it could be used against errant cyclists if such QR codes were used, you don't seem happy. Funny that.

Reading that PDF, it is an entirely theoretical exercise.

There is no mention of field tests or any real-world testing
The tax disc is about 3x3 inches in size, much too big to put on a bicycle.
Bicycles don't have windshields.
The research is purely a thought exercise on how it could be done in theory, that's it.

Again, i'll repeat. Is there ANY jurisdiction in the world that uses QR codes on cars to check for taxes, insurance, speeding, etc....?

Any?

You are not going to answer that question because we know the answer. No there is not.

You've already claimed you've actually used such a QR system. There's even a phot of one of those QR cards suspended under the saddle been posted here.

Just how hard are you going to try avoid seeing that a QR card unique identifier is practical? Seems you'd do or say anything to stop errant cyclists being prosecuted for disobeying the Rules of the Road.

At least it doesn't say Mayo for Sam

I think you need to read what I actually type.

I'm not happy for anyone to break the law, but I don't want to turn Ireland into a police state in order to mitigate it either.
You on the other hand have no issues with the latter.

Your attitude seems to be it's great that the gardai are using modern technology to catch errant motorists, but it would only be in a police state if they started using such technology to catch errant cyclists.

That is a fallacy

Yes, we know that already and I have already dismantled that argument. Repeating it again doesn't make it true.

It wasn't researched, it was a theoretical exercise.
Where is the research where this can work on bikes?


I'm resistant to stupid populist ideas.

Claiming that you've "already dismantled that argument" when you haven't and then lecturing about how repeating it "doesn't make it true" shows some astounding lack of self-awareness, even from such as you

Spoofer alert!

I was referring to where they were parked that your fellow crotch enthusiast gave out to them about in the first instance

Enough of your luddite drivel.

Instead of QR codes we can put transponders in bicycles.

They're already used in cycle racing, so there is no question this technology works and it can track speed, location and an identity number.

The only objection you can have is one based on your inability or unwillingness to follow the rules of the road in an accountable manner.
