Seems like protocols that should have been in place since the get go…

Flock and the like seem to operate from a ‘ask for forgiveness, not permission’ standpoint.

I think another thing to note, is that originally it was,
“they just record license plates” to,
“They are used to track vehicles' license plates, models, makes and colors, so authorities can search a database for the exact movements of any car any time it is picked up by a camera.”

I have a camera at our main gate. It catches more rabbits and bare asses than anything else. I need to put up a sign saying "please don't shit in front of the camera"

Good opinion piece I read this morning.

It’s 8 a.m. Sunday. You’ve had breakfast. You look out the window and see him - silent, across the street, staring. Unsettling, but legal. You load the

Good threads are fluid, typically not in a straight line.
Embrace it my friends.

I’m for more cameras. Legal rules around their use are necessary but too much crazy out there and LEOs need all the help they can get.

I used to be more of a “if you’re not doing anything wrong then you have nothing to fear” type of guy. I guess life and experience has changed that for me somewhat.

I used to think that since I am a law abiding citizen that law enforcement would approach me with that perspective and I could trust them to be reasonable and fair. Now, I think that I am more guarded in my trust of individuals within law enforcement to stay within the boundaries of protecting my civil rights in their interactions
with me. As such I value the laws that limit law enforcement just as much as I value the laws that limit the actions of citizens.

Those tools that further enable illegal interference in my civil liberties are something that I am generally opposed to law enforcement deploying in a widespread manner.

I have friends who live as expatriates in China and they tell me that there are scanners in public places in China that scan and mine the data and social media on a passerby’s phone to allow the government to determine whether or not that passerby has illegal or undesirable information on their phone.

I’m not interested in allowing our government or local law enforcement anything near that level of surveillance

I do. I shop there when I can. Unfortunately in the small tourist trap of a town I live in, they are a quite expensive. I saved a good bit of money at Home Depot. And as it pertains to the subject of this thread, I avoided the store with flock cameras and took my business to their competitor.

I made the mistake of shopping at a Walmart store and using the self checkout. found out they have facial recognition cameras
on the screen then when you use a credit card they attach your face to the name on the card and then sell the data.

For a second I thought you were suggesting age limits for Hunttalk members.

you're getting up there. they may 'opt' you out.

 

[Tradewind]

Maybe your wife does?

On a daily basis my brass clankers have me doing chit guys 20 years younger might physically struggle with.
But yes, they clank lower and lower each year.

You better quit going to grocery stores also. I mentioned this to my wife and she said that all the groceries and her picture go through the scanner.

Not sure why you responded to me, but I think you and Franklin might have different definitions of Liberty. You also might want to research the origins of the quote.

 

[Just Me]

I'm not sure how I feel about these. Mostly, I think they make people safer, but man those cops using them to stalk women? Freakin' disgusting!
