Not like a visible police presence in the community does.
If they're going to spy from their little war room whilst simultaneously cutting the manpower and/or not growing the force with competent officers, it will likely be a net loss as far as actual crime prevention goes.

If you’ve done nothing wrong you have nothing to worry about.

tech will be the end of us and i say that as a 1st year millenal who loves tech,.
No, convenience will be the end of us. The tech would not have as strong a footing if we weren't always looking for a more convenient life.
Convenience like your refrigerator having a camera and a touchscreen on it. Convenience like wearing a health monitor on your wrist 24/7/365. Convenience like your home's heating and air being controllable from the cloud. Convenience like being able to turn the porch light on from work or unlock the back door while on vacation so your neighbor can water your Peace Lily. Convenience like your car talking to your watch which talks to your phone. Convenience like having a box always listening so you can ask it if you should wear a rain jacket today or what year John Candy died. Convenience like every aspect of your gross consumerism being tracked with your every purchase in effort to give you a "better shopping experience".
We didn't crave this convenience all at once. Hell, we didn't even know we "needed" all that stuff to make our lives easier. At first, we thought, "Oh, being able to make a call from the road when I'm running late would really come in handy." Or, "Hey, not needing that phonebook to find my barber's number and hours is great!" Then, they found other ways to help us, to make life more convenient. Like the frog in the pot of water they kept gradually turning up the fire. Now, here we are, basically dependent on all those things meant to make us more comfortable. And, we expected them not to take advantage of that network of convenience? We expected them not to capitalize on the privacy we so willfully gave up? We expected them not to use that against us? We, unwittingly, while seeking convenience and comfort we didn't even know we needed, have allowed them a level of their own convenience that has never before been matched. It has never been easier to track and control us, and all for convenience.
Convenience will hang us all, but at least we will be comfortable waiting on the gallows.

well as a libertarian i agree 100%. i use "We" in the hopes that the right has woekn up to the bullshite of the patriot act and all of the terrible shite it has brought.

I have faith in Lafayette's current sheriff and mayor-pres, but these types of systems in the wrong hands could get ugly

You should. Mark is a good guy and very smart. I knew him on a personal level long before he was political.

Lol no. You can't have faith in that joker.

And that is the problem. Garber won't be sheriff forever and, even during his time, a major crisis may happen.
Like Canada just showed, LEO is on team LEO and will make you lick boots when called upon.

With all the authoritarianism going on in Canada, I post this thread just to remind you that when these sorts of "Big Brother" intrusions occur, they're never sold as a way to target normal, everyday folks. However, this is the very technology that will be used against you when/if you decide to fight other injustices of government.
It's not paranoia if they're really out to get you.

This sort of police state and lack of privacy is much of a concern to me that a tranny at a swim meet.
While they distract us, shite like this continues.

This will work great. They can "pull an Epstein" and erase all the CCTV footage when a cop shoots a dog or person, but monitor all the common folk living everyday life. Perfect.

Facial recognition software and the cameras are going to have a malfunction with all the New Iberia haircuts, slashed eye brows, and Affliction gear in Laffy.

I am not sure if anyone watched 60 mins last night, but there was a segment called "Havana Syndrome".
There have been people who work for homeland security and in other departments that deal with security issues, etc who have suffered brain injuries.
They will just all of a sudden start feeling dizzy, like they have a concussion. One guy had it happen to him and his family while he was in China then when he got back. It had done permanent damage to his wife and kids.
No one in our government can figure it out, but they believe its from some devices that shoots out microwaves and can collect data from people's computers and cellphones.
Here is the segment
Youtube
It started around 2017ish and there are people who are still having these experiences. If people have the ability to use some device to steal info from people's phone and other devices that is some crazy shite as well.

Ding Dong, it’s called the “Havana Syndrome” because the first folks to complain of it were US diplomatic personnel posted in Havana, Cuber.
Your vague posts are always vv vague.

I work sales in security. I got us partnered with a company that sells PTZ cameras with gunshot detection. It’s a double edged sword. On the one hand, it helps solve crime. On the other, it invaded everyone’s privacy.
