Surveillance cameras are being used to punish and evict public housing residents
- warning26 3y ago> One man was filmed spitting in a hallway. A woman was recorded removing a cart from a communal laundry room. Footage in both cases was presented to a judge to help evict the residents in court. Honestly, sounds like the system is working as intended. Spitting in the halway and stealing laundry carts sound minor, but they contribute to making life miserable for the other tenants.
- AHOHA 3y ago>When they installed the new surveillance system, local officials promised it would help tamp down a gang war menacing this forgotten steel town. But residents of Steubenville public housing soon learned the cameras were pointed at them. Isn’t that always the case, and I bet some people were defending the decision to put these cameras to “feel more secure” little they know governments will always use these tools against public interests at the first opportunity, same goes with fear mongering tactics against encryptions in communication and the need to “backdoor” any platform to “protect us for the monsters!!!”, same goes with Covid19 vaccine app, regardless of your take about it, the fact the “vax tracking app” started to be used as an official identity was alarming, with all the privacy violation and tracking it can do.
