Tuesday Overnight Open Thread - August 11, 2026 [Doof]

Another day, another batch of Flock abuses


Wisconsin police pull over wrong vehicle, draw guns on woman after Flock cameras mistakenly identified her car in a homicide case. Twice.
(H/T to CBD for this one)

It happened at around 4:45 p.m. Thursday, Aug. 6. Video from I-94 in Waukesha County shows multiple officers with guns drawn - and a passenger sticking their hands out the window.

Police pulled the car over after a Flock camera flagged it for a Milwaukee homicide. But when Brookfield Police called the Milwaukee Police Department, MPD said they no longer needed the car or the people inside, so officers let them go.

FOX6 News reached out to MPD to learn why that car was still active in the Flock system. The department said it was not a Flock issue, but a personnel issue - staff failed to remove a wanted vehicle alert from the system.


***

Another Flock mistake that prompts officers to go in with guns drawn.

If either of them had resisted in any way or showed they were upset by the false accusations being made by the cops they may have ended up dead. We've seen that happen before.

Also, the cops say "your car flagged the system" as if it were their fault. It was the system that flagged the car incorrectly, not the other way around.

There should be some type of monetary compensation for being stopped falsley with guns drawn.

Not real = not spectacular

Female Cyclists Accused of Using Bra Paddding to Increase Bust Size and Improve Aerodynamics

The world of women’s cycling is currently embroiled in a bizarre scandal involving the alleged use of bra padding to increase the bust area of ​​female competitors and modify airflow around the body. Known as “chest fairing,” the controversial practice can allegedly decrease drag and give competitors an unfair advantage during races.

According to experts, a smaller bust can favor the formation of a kind of “air pocket” at the level of the cyclist’s abdomen, which marginally increases the drag coefficient. For example, Bert Blocken, professor of aerodynamics at Heriot-Watt University (Scotland), told the British newspaper The Telegraph that chest fairing could provide a reduction of up to 3.6% in drag.

***

Originally reported last month by Dutch newspaper “WielerFlits,” the chest fairing trend caused quite a scandal on the women’s cycling circuit, and on August 4th, the cyclists taking part in this year’s Tour de France underwent an additional check of their clothing. It’s unclear if the checks uncovered the use of breast padding, but it’s clear that organizers aim to discourage the practice.


The waiting list for that job must be kinda long

Bad news for those of you who travel with a humanoid

United & Delta Become Latest Airlines To Ban Humanoid Robots From All Flights

United Airlines and Delta Air Lines have joined a growing list of carriers prohibiting passengers from transporting humanoid robots on their aircraft, extending restrictions to both cabin baggage and checked luggage. The policies come as airlines respond to the emergence of increasingly lifelike robots that present operational, safety, and handling challenges not addressed by traditional baggage rules.

The updated restrictions distinguish humanoid robots from conventional consumer electronics and small robotic devices. While toy robots and other electronic devices that meet existing battery requirements generally remain permitted, human-like robots are specifically prohibited regardless of their intended use. The move follows similar action by Southwest Airlines earlier this year after a highly publicized incident involving a humanoid robot traveling on a commercial flight.

36 You pathetic pikers are worried about Flock Cameras. Let me give you some real nightmares:

Harvard engineering students AnhPhu Nguyen and Caine Ardayfio created I-XRAY, a project using Meta AI Ray-Ban smart glasses combined with facial recognition and large language models to pull up names, home addresses, phone numbers, and relatives of strangers on the street in about 90 seconds.

Video Feed: The smart glasses livestream video to a private program or a social media feed.

Face Matching: A script grabs a frame of a face and runs it through a face search engine like PimEyes.Data

Scraper: An AI large language model parses the resulting links, cross-referencing public records, voter registries, and data leaks to compile personal details.

Phone Alert: The compiled dossier displays on the user's phone in real time.

They didn't just "launch an investigation" into "allegations".

They found him guilty and canned his ass. It normally takes a fucking nuclear weapon to dislodge a tenured professor.

He sued, of course. The first trial awarded him $1 (yeah, a dollar) The second one rescinded that.

Neither one ordered that he be given his job back.

99 Story time...
Driving through a largely unpopulated area of a mid-southern state late one evening, I had my cruise set to 5 over the speed limit and chillin'. After a while, a state trooper pulls up behind me. He just paces me. There's hardly any other cars on this dark desert highway and I just leave my cruise at 5 over.

After a while the lights come on and I pull over.

He comes up to the car and is very nice and polite and asks me some questions. We discuss that it's a rental car and I hand him the paperwork; he checks the VIN. He goes back to his car and sits there a while, waiting on information to come back. Eventually he comes back up and informs me the license on my car is not correct, and that's why he pulled me over - it should be on a different car.

Turns out the license belongs on an identical model car of a different color. He lets me know he'll call it in so that hopefully I don't get pulled over again. Neither he nor I are happy with the rental car company. The rental company didn't seem particularly perturbed when I told them upon turning in the car.

The Iowa 80 Truckstop and Trucking Museum is in Walcott, roughly 160 miles east of the proposed Buc-ees location.

The Iowa 80 Truckstop and Trucking Museum gets quite a bit of car business, they have a bunch of car gas pumps in front, the truck pumps are in the back. Inside, they have clean restrooms and lots of junk food. I think they have a Wendys inside and some other food offerings.

I always stop there when I'm eastbound, as I can fill up and then make it to Indiana and not have to buy gas in Illinois. I hate that state and don't want to give them any money or do anything there except take a piss.

They're probably far enough apart to not have a big impact either way.

40 years ago? I'd believe it was 75-25. I remember when we still had Hardee's in this area, the roast beef sandwich was just never as good as the Arby's one (plus, I could not get a beef n cheddar.)

I remember in college when they came out with coupons where you could get 5 beef and cheddars or 5 roast beef for 5 dollars. Then it went to 4, then 3 and now I do not think they even do deals and kids today are like 'Coupons?'
