The largely pro-Trump 4Chan internet message board has recently taken it upon themselves to help ICE agents catch and report illegals entering the United States.
The mostly pro-Trump 4Chan political page is using border webcams to help report illegal alien crossings.

As reported by /pol/’s News Network Twitter account, they just recently discovered that live streams of the US-Mexico border are available via http://blueservo.com/ . The website has become so popular that it has currently exceeded its bandwith at the time of writing this.

One 4Chan user suggested the Administration turn the live feeds into a “game” for users to help spot and report Illegals crossing, potentially earning points. The two screen shots attached to the original tweet purport to show 4Chan users catching would-be illegals in the act:
Many on Twitter have taken to the idea with praise and excitement:

Pardon the FRench
Whoever coined the phrase “weaponized autism” should have a cabinet level appointment.
What if a regular person uses a drone with live streaming?
Kinda sounds like something for a bored person, drive on down near the border in your RV, practice your drone flying skills.
Especially at night.
If this becomes effective at limiting illegal immigration you can bet that denial of service attacks will become common place for the website.
Can’t have citizens denying dreamers their dreams.
Yes, and the phrase “autistic crowdsource surveillance outfit”
4Chan continues to grow on me. Better get the Tea Tree oil.

How r these webcams setup? Are they setup by someone setting up their own cameras? Or do they use cameras already there for some other purposes?
blueservo’s servers were overloaded (at the time of article :).
Recall that HSD Sec Janet Napolitano turned off the ‘virtual fence’.
It apparently was revealing too much border activity.
Now, with on-board grenade!
Several years ago, the state of Texas had several border webcams that were live.
Apparently, they showed too much activity at times, as they were eventually turned off.
The ‘official’ reason was that they were just on as a short-term experiment.

This indicates some are still active. I don’t know how accurate it is.

Wild-life cameras with motion detection and low light capability were modified to meet specific
needs and satisfy certain criteria. Operation Drawbridge is fully operational today with hundreds of
cameras located along the border..........
Operation Drawbridge and its partnership with the U.S. Border Patrol and the border Sheriffs have
made a strategic and sustained impact on Cartel drug and human smuggling. Since the inception
of the program, through the end of December 2016, Operation Drawbridge has been successful in
detecting more than 275,000 criminal exploitations of the Texas-Mexico Border, and has directly
resulted in the apprehension of more than 133,000 individuals. In addition, Operation Drawbridge has
been responsible for the seizure of more than 182 tons of marijuana.

The little frog that could, Kek wills it.
Every pajama warrior in the country need to be registered and let 2 or 3 web cams feed on their screens day and night. Some one could create a “packet” for people to use. Software, protocols to follow, direct numbers to law enforcement, for lazy computer nerds to help keep eyes on the border.
Trump’s neighbor hood watch untill the WALL is finished.
Monty Python's "How Not To Be Seen" skit comes to mind.
Points, prizes, prestige! I want in.
