How do you feel about warrant less ability to track your every move

A video surfaced after a Wisconsin young lady disappeared around 2 AM from a Downtown Bar.
It shows her walking alone at the river front Pier. But WTF its broad daylight. She had been pulled out of
the river drowned. Maybe she had been planning it for some time, you know just walking out there
and swimming fully dressed with heels.

In most cases, they're just storing the data. Nobody's "monitoring" the cameras. They're not sitting in rooms staring at computer screens saying "keep an eye on that guy. He looks suspicious." It's more after the fact that people look at the videos — such as after the Boston Marathon attack, or after a shooting. Or in recent news, the election ballot boxes where somebody put incendiary devices in the slots of three boxes and destroyed hundreds of ballots. The FBI wasn't sitting there monitoring the boxes but only looked at the videos after the fact. You can bet they know who did it by now. They're just not divulging that information to the public yet.

Cameras have been Filming / recording people driving across bridges from another state for 70+ years. If there are military installations / Armorys / Government buildings, you on candid camera.

Hopefully DOGE has fired em as a waste of Taxpayer taxes.

Much has been written about surveillance cameras . Interesting reading about where these cameras send the images &r how long the images are kept. Article doesn't say how many monitors, how many people to watch the monitors only that AI compiles info.

I doubt my daily outings warrant monitoring so no I don't mind the use of surveillance for monitoring traffic flow or aiding in apprehension of criminals.

The LEO says he doesn't care how a mind works, only what it does, so if you are driving / doing anything he thinks you are a potential criminal.
Tripple locks on your bedroom and windows barred you in bed doing nothing, U most likely safe. Don't answer the door or say yes on the phone though. Mum is the thought, stay there.
 
I like having security cameras, and many of my neighbors do as well. It may help retard overall crime when criminals know that use of cameras is becoming more prevalent.
 
I don't like the constant hacking and tracking. But probably that cat is out of the bag, and it's too late to do anything about it. Probably we can stop some of it, maybe by shutting down appliances when they are not in use. Our smart phones can be completely turned off. Can they then be spying on us anyway? I doubt it.

I dislike the spying and lack of privacy, which is constantly hounding me with ads for products that I maybe googled one time on my phone or computer. Just happened yesterday. I had looked at something on Amazon, and an ad turned up on Alexa (which of course is an Amazon product.) No big secret, just annoying. The sponsors love to create "tailored" ads to each user, depending on what they have shown an interest in. But in typical A-I fashion, it is simplistic and reduces our thinking to duality.

I even get annoyed by that question at the end of a TV movie: "Did you like this movie?" and it gives you three options. It turns us all into robots who can be spied on and analyzed. So if we say yes, we enjoyed the movie "E.T.," we are deluged with ads for science fiction, as if that's all we want to watch.

I've learned to just ignore those questions.

I guess I should clarify. This is for US citizens only as I have no knowledge of other countries.
Myself, I'm a bit concerned about the potential for abuse.

When you're in public you have no privacy whatsoever. And supreme court has already ruled on that quite a bit, not to mention if you ever saw the first amendment auditors who sometimes seem to try to invite a lawsuit but are out there to let the public know that once you're in public it's not like you're going to be privately sitting in your own home and safe from prying eyes.

Furthermore I really don't care about cameras outside if you remember the Boston bombing that's how the FBI and Homeland services were able to find who committed those crimes so quickly.

People willingly share intimate information about themselves on Social Media every single day. Are the authorities supposed to pretend it's not happening? If you use the internet, Alexa, or a Smartphone (cell phone) you are accepting you can be tracked, not only in terms of location, but thought.

Especially since many of these idiot criminals videotape their activity and posted online. Like a bunch of young people drilling into semi truck tires to flatten it. That is several charges of sabotage, vandalism & destruction of property by a terrorist act it can get you a few years but they don't seem to realize how they're putting their futures in danger.
 
I’m definitely not a fan of it and am concerned about the government having too many cameras. China spies on its citizens everywhere. When I attend a protest, I leave my phone at home so it can’t be tracked by the government.
 
I would not dismiss the UK and OZ from this thread-both are well into CCTV. The moment you step outside your front door, there is no "right of privacy". Anyone can legally take pics, videos of you, without your permission. The fact that the government is the one doing the recording makes no difference. That's kind of what "going out in public" means.
