Yes I did, and he went the other way, officer
Is there any reason anyone would scrape Citibike data other than it possibly being their job... Like wtf? Who needs a surveillance state when you've got shitheads like this. Most servile populace in the world and then Amerikkkans will talk about their freedoms and hiveminds and other shit like that.
Frankly comes off very stalkerish to me.
I could see it as a project I would try one summer but I'd probably just turn it off after 2 minutes once I think about the ethical implications.
The better you get at your hobbies, the more real that line from jurassic park becomes.

All mentioned information is Open Data, IIRC because NYC has a pretty progressive policy in place that anything that ties into public transport - like citibike - has to publish this type of stuff. As it should be. The "scraping" this guy does is most likely using the provided API, if only because if you pinged everything Citi Bike entity manually every minute the DDoS-Protection would block you out.
Removed from any specific case, throwing out accusations and tipping off the NYPD is garbage. I'm pretty sure somewhere in the 13 gajillian dollar budget they'll find someone who can go to the NYC Open Data Website and check this.
I don't think the answer to someone doing this bullshit is to walled garden it all. The list of publicized data as shown here is just basically shit you need to track anyways to keep the service operational, this'd exist anyway. The choice then is to either abolish Citi Bike and anything like it (including if it was run by the municipality, they'd need the same data) or alternatively only citi bike has the data, which means the cops still get it, but you don't.
Ok, that makes sense. I had no idea that CitiBike data was publicly accessible.
Even if it wasn't him scraping the data is not the issue here for the aforementioned reasons. It all exists anyways, neatly organized on centralized server infrastructure. This Data cannot not exist unless you want to turn back the clock to like thousands of dudes on rikshas. Given that, it's either only the state can see it and use it, or everybody can.
What this guy did is dumbass witchhunting. Even removed from the idea a guy doing a planned assassination would stoop so low as to fuck with a citibke to disable or futz it's tracking, the expanded post simply shows this is the only bike taken from a nearby station and going northbound and dropped off there. Guy might've gotten it from one like half an hour away.

No need to pay me the $10,000 reward officers, I just do it for the love of being a sniveling little dweeb who inhales boot. 
Desperate to be the smart hacker character on whatever ideologically fascist crime procedural is popular these days
17K likes is why I refuse to believe humanity will make any progress without sustained revolution
Fucking hell
Most of the comments are not on their side at least.
This one got me
Chef's kiss 🤌
17k likes from people still using Twitter in December 2024. It's largely a self selecting group of assholes
If it makes you feel any better that's gotta be mostly bots.
If the shooter was smart, they ditched the bike and got out of the city on foot
God I hope the shooter was smart
Given how meticulously planned the rest of it was, I'm assuming the shooter had some kind of a plan on what to do after going to central park
Probably got picked up by a car at that point

gonna say that this probably won't lead to shit, because surely the NYPD pulled the nearest camera footage from the street/nearby stoplights/hotel he got murked in front of and came to the conclusion he was on some citibike. If the dude used a visa debit gift card that he bought with cash and a burner phone to actually rent the bike, good luck tracking him lmao. Dude definitely went through Central Park based on that pick-up/drop-off area. He's in the wind now godspeed Agent 47
that pfp is such deep cut nerd pervertry too, holy shit
Keep tim and moby out of your pfp, snitch
I read this as fleeing the scene of the crime to then get lost in the crowd at Central Park. Probably had a secondary transportation and change of clothes there.

I hope someone doxes this snitch and they get some new stitches for Christmas
what if he's snitching false data intentionally
OK, that would be cool
I am currently scraping this nerd's data to assess the optimal locker I can stuff him into.
nerds like this think that everyone hates them just for being smart
The funny thing is that I hate them because they are dumber than my TV (it's not smart)

i would be really surprised if the cops didn't immediately grab that data. the fbi is involved in this case, they can outdo a twitter user. i think the point of the citibike was to get away from the initial police response and witnesses, then he would have time to make a slower and more covert escape before they got the gps data. the chances of him being caught go down with each hour that passes. i'm sure they got into the phone by now, and if they got info from it, they would have released it. if one of his friends was gonna rat on him for the $10k, they would have done it by now. the cops can have fun with the water bottle and candy wrapper, they're kidding themselves. they're not gonna catch him. he got away with it.
lol 10k
that's enough to buy a state senator but is it enough to sell out a hero?
i feel like it's past the point where the amount is a deciding factor for someone working class. i think if someone was willing to sell him out, they would have wanted to do it before someone else did. and i think anyone who this guy trusted enough to have enough info would have considered it a heroic act.

I don't think its about the money nearly so much as it is about too many potential suspects and tons of dip shit sleuths on Twitter blowing up the NYPD with bad tips.
Even if someone did know something, they're competing with a tidal wave of Rileys who think they've Sherlock Holmes the perpetrator already.

Police now backtracking and saying Citibike was not involved after all
Quoting Tom Winter (@Tom_Winter)
A representative for the company that manages Citibike — Lyft — says the NYPD has now informed them that their bike was not used by the homicide suspect:

What is it snitches get? I forget
What ever it is, they're probably going to get their coverage denied by a non functional "ai"
Niches
Snitches get 9mm
The guy posting this is a complete data weirdo and a vouyer for sure. His got a YouTube channel where you just watch compiled cctv footage and has mapped out other stuff.
There's no fucking way this guy rented an unmodified bike after the crime and then returned it to the charging dock after he was done escaping from the crime scene.
Don't break more than one law at a time. 
wow what a stupid fucking asshole
I hope no one doxes Riley Walz, who moved to San Francisco in 31/1/2024 to work "inside of a very large house (might as well be called a building, or a compound, or a military fortress) near Alamo Square, along with the other 18 founders in the program" who bought 10k worth of meat from someone from reddit
Oh, and his grandma lives in Portland and his friend Josh in Seattle
If you plan on snitching, please post a year in review on your blog, I'd love to know more
Plot twist: The person on this bike is actually a different C-level executive, and this person is trying to assassinate them using the NYPD.
United Healthcare assassin? What happened?
you actually didn't hear? someone shot the ceo of united healthcare in manhattan at 6:50 this morning with a suppressed pistol and he hasn't been identified
The only murder even white people care less than a dead brown child
i've just been reading up on it
wild stuff 
Hackers used to be cool.
Now they're fucking rats.
