It's not really random citizens that have the footage though, it's Google. I don't want to slippery slope too far, but we've been shown time and time again that data in private hands is essentially also in government hands. You only have to look back at whisleblowers/leaks in the past decade to see that this is true. Worse yet, with techniques like parallel construction, it could be many, many years until you know the truth.
- adossi 7y agoIsn't Ring owned by Amazon, not Google?
- abootstrapper 7y agoYes.
- johnbrodie 7y agoDidn't have my coffee yet. Yes, Amazon. Doesn't really change my point.
- stephens_chris 7y agoI agree, and would add on that anytime data is centralized under control of any one actor – public or private – this is would be the case.
