Public security cameras are not widely deployed, like, at all. However the police state in Vietnam (the current president came from the same position Putin held before presidency) has adopt this amusing practice of showing up & demanding security footage from private houses' cameras facing the street (which, turns out to cover much more than surveillance cams could ever).
More insane is them also passing a law that forbid usages of the same footages for citizen journalism purposes. This came out after someone posted a footage from their home cam recording that controversial accident when a congressman hit and kill a high-schooler unprosecuted. You can look it up.
- refurb 16d agoI’ve been paying attention to the incident you speak of since it’s so interesting to see how an authoritarian system deals with it. I was quite amazed when the father of the teenager made a statement about “maintaining harmony”. It’s right out of the stories you’d hear about life in the USSR.
