  • Yes, but I I’m pretty sure there was more to it than a simple IR sensor. I just remember that people used to take the IR filter off their early 2000s digital cameras, or use Sonys with night mode, then put the exposed end of film over the sensor to block out visible light. This would let them take clear photos outside the visible spectrum, which included some UV frequencies (I think). Using these cameras let you see through dark polymers, and many creeps used that to take pictures through women’s clothes when synthetic poly was all the rage.

    While IR allows you to see through some synthetic materials and polymers, whereas UV is generally blocked by it, I think I remember the issue being that these sensors captured such a wide spectrum. When Sony reacted to the NightShot controversy, they claimed that people using these cameras thought they could see a nude silhouette through thin black fabrics, but that no nude features were actually exposed. Sony also claimed that the real problem was engaging night mode when there was plenty of ambient light, so they limited that capability in future models. But, from what I understand, the real solution was doping the sensor glass or adding a coating that narrowed the frequencies detected to a range closer to the infrared video lights on the camera.

    So, assuming that OOP is indeed correct that this new camera records IR and UV, then there’s an increased likelihood that the sensor can also see through thin synthetic fabrics, also assuming I remember everything correctly. If the inclusion of UV was more like, “or whatever frequency,” then it’s probably not really an issue.

    Pic to demonstrate this effect with my phone’s IR camera on a Roku remote I found. Roku remote in color and black and white. Black and white versions shows inside the remote.













  • God, cops are obsessed with posing with anything they seize in bulk. Are the posing officers the ones involved? Who the fuck knows?!

    But, let’s take everything at face value. $1000 $1700 “worth” of toilet paper… taken off the streets. Y’know, for safety. Like with drugs. This major bust apparently required 9 police officers, and, for some reason, a K9.

    Let’s be generous and assume that this department assigns 2 pigs bastards cops to a cruiser, and let’s be considerate and assume that it took them only an hour to perform this sting and collect their Bounty. Let’s also assume that they managed to only burn 1 gallon of gasoline per vehicle. Finally, I think that it’s safe to assume that it took about two hours to get back to the station, decompress, tickle each other’s assholes over what a good police job they did, fill out their passive language paperwork, stack the TP, take this picture posting like they just got Osama Bin Laden, and then make a couple of racist jokes.

    According to ZipRecruiter, the average Plainfield, IL hourly wage is around $30/hr. According to Gas Buddy, gas prices are around $5/gallon. So, to protect their streets from, probably, $400 worth of toilet paper, it likely cost the city $925, plus whatever the hourly cost is to make sure a police dog doesn’t get desensitized to black people.

    But thank goodness Plainfield PD was there to prove that you can also use assholes to clean up toilet paper. Fucking ass-wipes.
