Isn't it already the norm that there are security cameras in retail stores to catch shoplifters? This doesn't really change that.

- badrabbit 7y agoYes. Recordings of video, not analysis of your movement and tracking people with their name,social information,history facial recognition and gait analysis. Is there a difference between a security guard watching you and a person walking around writing down every move you make, every facial expression,posture,gesture,mood,interaction and instantly applying sophisticated correlation in conjunction with thousands of historical data points about you? Come on! There is a difference between a firecracker and thermonuclear bomb.
- laughinghan 7y agoYes, but what does that have to do with "Just walk out"? Grocery stores across the country could do (or may be already doing) all the creepy things you're describing without implementing "Just walk out", with the security cameras they already universally have installed. Or, they could implement "Just walk out" without doing any of those creepy things. They're irrelevant to each other. I don't see why you have a problem with "Just walk out", it seems to me like your problem is with the prevalence of security cameras. That's a valid criticism of, say, Ring, because it's pushing to increase the prevalence of home security cameras, but "Just walk out" isn't going to increase the prevalence of retail store security cameras, they're already ubiquitous.
