There's a huge difference between deploying cameras in public places so that u can go back and look at the records if something happens, and deploying cameras across the whole city that do real-time biometric identification on a mass scale. Its scary and heart-breaking, and no amount of protocol will make the tech safe from corruption. Frankly anyone that actually believes that these systems wont be abused is delusional at best.

It says "surveillance is a bad thing period" and that's just not true, some forms of surveillance in some places can both help police and make people feel safer. Would anyone in their right mind rather park their new car in some dark alley, than under the eye of cctv camera? Of course not... so parent commenter made a huge bad generalization and that's the part I was commenting on.
- RandyGoldy 5y agoI want to say that I have friends who are against installing a video surveillance camera in the house because, lol, they are afraid that they will look ridiculous later on the record. I mean, do you understand? Are people willing to sacrifice their safety in order NOT to look ridiculous? Well, I have another opinion on this, there have been cameras at home for a long time, but I just recently purchased Ajax smoke and water level sensors and was already able to connect my cameras to their application so that everything was in one place. This is very convenient, I want to say.
