And technically the “2 hr timer” starts when they scan your plate the first time — else you’re not in their system to enforce the 2 hr limit. Once enforcement comes back 2+ hrs later, if you’re still parked there, you will get ticketed.

The scanners can come by almost on the dot in oakland, based on their routes. IIRC, this also means your home is surveilled almost every 2 hours during enforcement hours. The photos can be requested by the police, or randos

  1. They're not recording/saving video all day long.
  2. Anything visible from the street isn't considered private. This includes illegal parking.

It also allows warrantless, near-real time tracking of street visible vehicles in the city by the police, but it has been a while since I read about it and I forget if Pittsburgh utilizes this.

I'd recommend not traveling by car if you don't want to be tracked.
