Build your own. It’s not that difficult.

I'll bet 90% of so called Conservatives were cheering this crap on after 9/11 and yelling at the Ron Paul types: "If we don't give up our Freedom then the terrorists win."

Instal your own security cameras, on your own home tied into your own network. Than tell gubmint to go away.

Makes me want to sign up for this Fusus network, then mount a camera in the bottom of my toilet so the cops can get an eyeful.

I’m not sure the point came through. Through this program, private citizens and businesses are giving the police access to their cameras “for safety.” And “their privacy will be protected,” “no violations of civil rights.”

That’s the way I read it. They have been pushing this for a while and no way in hell am I giving them access to anything on my property. They’ll know when I’m coming and going and a corrupt police force could go in any direction with that one!

The point is private citizens and businesses giving the police access to their cameras through this Fusus.

For example:

“Kalamazoo launches FUSUS, a real-time platform aimed at improving community safety”

KALAMAZOO, Mich. — In an effort to keep Kalamazoo safe, Kalamazoo Department of Public Safety, or KDPS, and city officials launched FUSUS Tuesday.

FUSUS, a public-private crime mitigation and safety platform, aims to tie public and private video sources together in real time, improving awareness and increasing efficiency for first responders and investigators, according to KDPS.

Overall, the cloud-based platform looks to give communities a “stake in their own safety,” according to KDPS Public Information Officer Jay Shatara in a release.

And this:

“Metro COB shared concerns over police surveillance” (Nashville)

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WKRN) — It’s a crime fighting tool that allows law enforcement to plug into private surveillance cameras with consent from the owner, but Metro’s Community Oversight Board (COB) said they had no idea the Metro Nashville Police Department has been using it for nearly a year.

The technology, called Fusus, gives law enforcement access to private citizens’ and business owners’ surveillance camera video with the community members’ permission. The community member also controls the level of access, which includes live streaming and recording capabilities.

Metro police have more than 740 registered cameras, meaning residents have informed police they have surveillance cameras and they can contact them in case of a crime, and more than 200 integrated cameras which certain officers can access to varying degrees, according to Nashville’s Fusus website.

Yes, and it’s very much CCP-like, considering how much they can do with that information.

Remember this recent story?

“New study finds 1/3 of Gen Z supports in-home surveillance”

WASHINGTON (TND) — A stunning new survey indicates that America’s future generations don’t know or understand the very bedrock of our nation’s history and constitution, and instead embrace government surveillance and limits to free speech.

***

The new study by the Cato Institute found that 1/3 of Gen Z supports the government installing surveillance cameras inside their homes and said, “it is relevant to note the higher acceptance among younger generations to trade freedom and privacy for some added security and protection.”

All part of the new surveillance state. These cameras are tied into the license plate reader system. You will be tracked everywhere you go. Maybe OK today if you are not a criminal, but when environmental driving limits/lockdowns or COVID lockdowns are imposed then you are screwed.

This is about a new program, being launched in dozens of cities, in which police are *voluntarily* being given access to private cameras, “for safety.”

What expectation of privacy do you have when you are in a public space?
