It's funny how everyone on HN is against filming people in public places except when they don't like said people and suddenly filming is OK.

- macintux 7mo agoMany on HN are opposed to the government trying to protect itself from the exposure of illegal or unpopular actions.
- thfuran 7mo agoYou think it’s unreasonable to believe that expectation of privacy ought to apply differently to the general population than it does to government officials carrying out their duties? Would you also say it’s inconsistent for me to support FOIA without wanting my personal communications to be subject to it?
- jmye 7mo agoWould be wonderful if we could leave the blatantly transparent, false equivalencies on Facebook and Twitter where they’re more becoming of the general user base, and maybe try to be slightly more thoughtful, eh?
- contubernio 7mo agoSecrecy is anathema to government accountability. It is not the same to film private persons as it is to film government agents.
