Anthony Sistilli took a tool that police use on everyone else and pointed it the other way. The Canadian YouTuber built a license plate camera that looks only for police cars. After he posted videos of the project, the local force reportedly took notice.
According to a Tom’s Hardware report, Sistilli said two Peel Regional Police officers came to his home in Brampton, Ontario, on September 20. He says they asked what he planned to do with the device. Sistilli, a software engineer, described the visit in a video posted on October 7.
