I can see a validity to cameras in public places. However the tyranny of the recent Covid era shows the ease of abuse. We’d have locked down much harder had they been in place. I think the cure is worse than the disease here sadly although I can see where an honest government could use them properly.
Cops etc are already following exes and so forth. Obviously they are badly abused already and we aren’t even in Chi Com lockdown.
Blame the abuser and not the tool.
I can kill someone with a hammer. Ban them?
BWAHAHAHAHAHahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!
If people were capable of forming an honest government, we wouldn't need government.
Abuse of information by LEOs is always wrong. But cameras are just an automated way of doing what cops have always done and which is supported by decades of case law.
People seem to think they have a right of privacy in public spaces. With few exceptions, they do not and never have. It’s just that Flock has leveled the playing field, making much more likely that public actions will be observed.
