Volunteer reviewers
People from the public will help check possible matches. Here is how that will work, before sign-up opens.
Sign-up is not open yet. There is no live network, so there is nothing to review today.
What volunteers do
Volunteer reviewers look at the cropped image from a possible match and check it against the official public alert. The MOAT Safety desk reviewer then makes the final decision. During the pilot, that will be James Isaac Kay, founder of MOAT Safety. Volunteers assist, and the desk confirms.
What a volunteer sees, and what they never get
What they see
- The cropped image only: the vehicle and its plate, or just the plate. Other vehicles' plates and bystanders' faces in it are blurred on the device.
- The official public alert it may match.
- Why the device flagged it.
What they never get
- The location and time of the sighting.
- Call details: who was called, when, or what was said.
- The driver's name. Devices are shown by a code.
- Any way to look up a plate.
- A match their own camera captured.
Vetting and training
Every volunteer will be vetted and trained before they see a single match, and will sign in with a passkey.
The exact vetting steps will be published here before sign-up opens.
Running a DashStar camera
Not available yet. The plan is a v1 camera that costs far less than the research prototype, funded through a future crowdfunding campaign. See support.
