Many (most?) of the cameras out there only have the recordings looked at if a crime is reported, some motion sensor is tripped, or some other condition.
A friend of mine opened a business, and he was required to have a security camera to make things convenient for the police. The law specified VHS as no one had bothered to update it, but he just burned them a DVD the one time they asked for a recording.
- kevin_thibedeau 7y agoThese are not a real problem. The bigger threat is automated facial recognition throwing false positives and having swat teams mow down innocent people because a computer said they were criminals.
- kirykl 7y agoDon't worry, automated swat teams will eliminate the need to mow down, merely resulting in arrests
- dsfyu404ed 7y agoYou don't even need false positives. Just identifying more people who have warrants out will cause innocent people to die. Every time an AI gets a hit and calls the police the public is at risk. The police are simply not professional enough to be expected to rush into a situation where they have no knowledge other than there's someone there they want to arrest and not have an unacceptably high chance of leaving death and destruction in their wake. Calling the cops more because we have AI doing it will result in more death regardless of the accuracy of the AI. If cops could be trusted to show restraint swatting wouldn't be a thing.
