Some years ago I saw a documentary from a CCTV control room in Rotterdam, Netherlands monitoring busy shopping streets.
The operators deemed everyone walking aimlessly as suspicious, and would follow them from camera to camera. At one point a guy was reading from a piece of paper, and the camera zoomed in until the text was clearly readable. Creepy af.
The mentality there was, if you feel uncomfortable you probably have something to hide.
- moksly 7y agoThat goes well with my social anxiety. :p
- lm28469 7y agoI very often go out at night to walk or take some picture of monuments in Berlin. I get stopped every single time by security guards, police, &c. "It's a private property you can't be there" Ah right, the sidewalk is a private property now. The worst thing is that you can't says anything, you can't call the cops on the cops... Try taking a picture of police officers/cars or of a security camera. It's 100% legal but they'll act like it's not.
- xiconfjs 7y agodo you have some examples? I'm also around in Berlin at night taking pictures and never had a situation like that. I would love to go to these places and annoy some stupid people
- lm28469 7y agoAltes Stadthaus, especially if you try to take pics of the inside. Jewish museum in Lindenstr also. The cops at alexanderplatz at night. Any construction site with private security. I have bulky medium format analog camera, a tripod and mostly do long exposure, maybe they don't like that, idk.
