Well this sounds very creepy, but imagine for a moment that the landlord might only be checking if there's child pornography going on at his house, then I guess

  Now imagine it's not a rental but a house you bought and the builder installed the surveillance and you have no ability to remove them.

    >and you have no ability to remove them I'm having trouble imaging why you wouldn't be able to. Worst case scenario you need to head to home depot and get a ladder/drill or whatever, but that's about it.

      They're comparing this behavior to Apple's announcement about scanning iOS devices for child pornography.

      Patching iOS in that manner sounds hard.

  And then imagine that the landlord checks for other vague “things” in order to “keep you and the neighborhood safe”. “Sorry, I have no control over it” he says, “it’s required by law”

  We got this amazing Airbnb in Tahoe last year, and it had an electric anti-bear fence around it and a lot of cameras. The instructions for getting settled in the house were first how to disable the electric fence then how to unplug the surveillance system during the stay, and obviously how to reenable them all on checkout. This is how it should be done.

    Then again the cameras might just remain active, having comforted you into believing all the cameras pointed at you are disabled.

  Or checking that their house isn't be destroyed...
