I love this train of thought and it aligns well with how I think about the world. You treat state actors differently than citizens and, living under a state, they are absolutely in your threat model for home security. Police get it wrong sometimes. Sometimes they act maliciously. Counter point. My security system is not easily taken offline (resilient against cutting power for 2+ hours, cameras are all PoE, hard to find the drive storing footage, etc.). If the state enters my home COINTELPRO style, or gets the wrong house, I want footage of that encounter under my control when it’s time to go to court. I think this line of thinking lines up well with my original comment. We shouldn’t look at this technology as an all encompassing shift towards centralization of power. There are uses that gives power back to individuals. This power is a good thing on an individual level and dangerous in aggregate.
