Something tells me not to do this.
Eyes everywhere.
I’m sure only if LE can access your camera 24/7
Why? Just because “Anything your camera records, can and may be used against you in a court of law.”
Sounds similar to the power company offering free wifi controlled thermostats, so that they can control your temperature settings.
Probably because it will significantly cut down crime and related costs
“Why? Just because “Anything your camera records, can and may be used against you in a court of law.”
Point it at that neighbor you are ticked at.
So they hint that the cameras are a good thing, then they incentify the cameras and hope that people will do it in the name of a ‘good thing”. Next they will try to make it alaw that every home have an outdoor security camera...in the name of it being a ‘good thing”. Next they will try to suggest that all houses have indoor cameras...and so on...
I cannot see this as ultimately leading to being a ‘good thing”!
If my house was robbed I think I’d be pretty happy if the cops could obtain video from the neighborhood that could identify the perps.
But on FR, all technology is bad.
How about giving 200 to the purchase of an 870.
Technology isn’t bad. It’s the inevitable creep toward twisted misuse by those in positions of authority.
Just technology that threatens your freedom.
Ever see 1984?
“But on FR, all technology is bad.”
No technology is not “bad”...but lots of people who use technology are evil! FReepers in the main know this aspect to be true. You demean the rest of us with that stupid comment! Most FREEPERS can still count to two, chew gum and understand our constitutions and love Jesus at the same time!
Cut out the middle man and have LE set up their own cameras fed into the police station’s basement.
The next incentives will be indoor security camera feeds including bedrooms.
” Next they will try to make it alaw that every home have an outdoor security camera”
Watch for insurance policies to offer discounts if you have govt connected cameras outside. Same as charging people who don’t, extra each year.
Make it $5k if they bag a porch pirate and they’ll get somewhere.
My Kimber 1911 .45cal “Eclipse Target II” has no eyes, but my upgraded 1999 inside security system works just fine.
I’ve got something better: a 95 pound Rotten Shepherd (she’s more Rottweiler than German Shepherd) that comes to life in a big way whenever strangers come within 50 feet of our house.
