Do you believe anyone with a surveillance camera should have the owners name and address published if in any way a “public” area is recorded? I suppose we can

Do you believe anyone with a surveillance camera should have the owners name and address published if in any way a “public” area is recorded?
I suppose we can start with all Blink, Ring and Nest Cams. Then we will continue with dash cam owners.
- Refreeze5224 1mo agoI don't. But I do think the CEO of a company who sells spying as a service to cops should have a taste of his own medicine.
- amazingamazing 1mo agoSo much for privacy should be a human right lol.
- peterm4 1mo agoHuman rights are routinely revoked from those that impede on the rights of others. This is the premise that underpins prisons. Privacy being a human right still holds true.
- Refreeze5224 1mo agoPrivacy absolutely should be a human right. But currently it isn't, and part of why is there is lots of money to be made with surveillance on ordinary people. And things will not change unless the people who exploit the privacy of other for monetary gain feel the effects of their privacy being violated. Like the CEO of Flock.
- a2ff6eeb0 1mo agoMaybe it should be one. Until it is, I'm all for giving the powerful the same consideration they give me.

- sigmarule 1mo agoContext matters. Without it, very foolish things can be said.
- schiffern 1mo ago1. Installing a yard camera. 2. Building a mass surveillance dragnet and purpose-built tracking software and marketing it heavily to random local authorities. Yep, totally the same thing...
- folkrav 1mo agoYou are equating installing personal security camera(s) to knowingly selling extra-judiciary mass-surveillance hardware and software to law enforcement. What's the point you're trying to make with this, exactly?
- idiotsecant 1mo agoAre you asking if a public registry of where you're being observed by security cameras is a good thing? Sure. I wouldn't mind that.
- dghlsakjg 1mo agoIf they are sharing the footage with a dragnet, tracking people across the country, and giving access to unaccountable cops with a history of abusing that data? Yes. If they are using it to see when their amazon package got delivered, or for bog standard security purposes? No.
- zaptheimpaler 1mo agoIt sounds like you think Flock is just another home camera system, but it’s not and you could read up on that.
- amazingamazing 1mo agoYou should read up on police use of the cameras I mentioned
- wookmaster 1mo agoI think the point is these home systems are controlled centrally and can be used the same way flock can. I personally removed ring and installed my own system that doesnt export video out of concern with the governments lack of checks and balances anymore.
- UncleMeat 1mo agoScale matters. The “well technically an army of tens of millions of cops could achieve the same thing” argument is thoroughly unconvincing.

- queenkjuul 1mo agoI have no issue banning ring and nest cams, actually. They hand the data to cops too
