They are literally everywhere. I can’t go any place without being watched. I just want some privacy. The most alarming part is that they put cameras on all entrances and exits so they can know who’s entering or leaving. Why do they need to stalk me as I go about my day? The area I live in is overall pretty safe so I don’t see the justification.
I have also noticed that some people actually feel safe where there are cameras. I get that people can get scared but I don’t think creating a giant network of mass surveillance is the answer.
What is this dystopian future we have marched into.
Cameras have become incredibly cheap.
DVRs no longer require tapes or security personnel.
Every business will put a camera on entries and exits and just record everything in case they ever need it.
The vast majority of them don’t care who’s coming in and leaving, Even beside their view of cameras as a theft deterrent, if somebody walks and holds up a register and bolts having the footage for that might pay for their entire camera setup for years.
Some cameras can replace your dressed body with a naked body. It’s not something I just made up. Wink 😉.
I want to punch people in the throat who say “YOU HAVE NO EXPECTATION OF PRIVACY IN A PUBLIC PLACE” because like, yeah, I know, I’d fucking like to though.
In that case why can’t I photograph the cameras? They are in the public after all.
my mother has installed cameras in every room of her house except the bathroom. and external cameras. they are also internet connected. I tried to explain to her how these things are not secure and can easily be tapped into but she wouldn’t hear it
Did you encourage her to put them in the bathroom and to install quality microphones everywhere?
I encourage everyone to carry around an internet-connected audio-video listening device on their person at all times. Not only to have calls potentially tapped but also a microphone that can listen at any time and a non-removable battery.
Then you really don’t want to know about mesh license plate readers.
They allow 24/7 monitoring of all drivers any where in a city … in real time
They’re horrific and apparently invisible to people. Any time I point them out I’ve been called crazy and told I was overreacting. Until driving around Illinois with a coworker when he started to understand the scale of it all. The more I see the more dizzying it becomes. There needs to be regulation for them
