and soon/now triple as surveillance.
- VirgilShelton 1y ago[flagged]
- insamniac 1y agoNothing to hide for now.
- BlaDeKke 1y agoI don’t have a problem with the camera as much as with the system behind it.
- serf 1y agogo watch any movie about a panopticon for the (overdiscussed) side-effects of a surveillance state. Fiction works, but if you want to spend the evening depressed then go for any East/West Germany (true) stories. For it or against surveillance and I can understand, but just not understanding the issue? No excuses -- personal surveillance for the sake of the state is one of the most discussed social concepts in the world.
- ericd 1y agoThe Lives of Others is a great one about the Stasi.
- DonHopkins 1y agoRTSP feed please!
- slashdev 1y agoUntil the politicians want to come after you for posts you make on HN, or any other infraction they decide is now an issue. History is littered with the literal bones of people who thought they had nothing to fear from the state. The state is not your friend, and is not looking out for you.
- alvah 1y agoThe number of people who cling to this view is frankly astonishing. History books are still a thing, right?
- drumttocs8 1y agoYou have nothing to hide given the current, reasonable definition of crime. What if that changes?
- CamperBob2 1y agoYou have no idea if you have anything to hide or not. It's not your call, and never has been. https://www.amazon.com/Three-Felonies-Day-Target-Innocent/dp/1594035229 https://www.amazon.com/Three-Felonies-Day-Target-Innocent/dp...
- reaperducer 1y agoI have nothing to hide Great! Then you don't mind telling us your email password!
- hn_go_brrrrr 1y agoPresumably not. Whether he has any acts to keep secret is not relevant to whether he'd like to have any money left in his bank account tomorrow.
- SXX 1y agoYou have nothing to hide until you automatically marked for whatever and then judged also automatically by a buggy hallucinating AI overlord. Might be because pattern on your face or T-shirt match something bad. And this kind of stuff already happened in UK even before "AI craze". Hundreds of people been imprisoned because of faulty accounting system: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Post_Office_scandal https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Post_Office_scandal "Computer says you go to prison"!
- dang 1y agoPlease don't rewrite your comment like this once it has replies. It deprives the replies of their original context, making the thread less readable.
- Spooky23 1y agoThose cameras aren’t usually easily or cheaply adapted to surveillance. Most are really simple and don’t have things like reliable time sync. Also, road jurisdictions are really complex and surveillance requires too much coordination. State, county, town, city all have different bureaucratic processes and funding models. Surveillance is all about Flock. The feds are handing out grants to everyone, and the police drop the things everywhere. They can locate cars, track routine trips, and all sorts of creepy stuff.
- gxs 1y agoWith all due respect, you are kidding yourself if you think those cameras aren’t used for surveillance/ logging They don’t have to be “adapted” to surveillance - they are made with that in mind Obviously older generations of equipment aren’t included here - so technically you may be correct for old/outdated equipment installed areas that aren’t of interest
- khm 1y agoIn my city, cameras for traffic light control are on almost every signalized intersection, and the video is public record and frequently used to review collisions. These cameras are extremely cheaply and easily adapted to surveillance. Public records are public records statewide.
