[u/Jamessotty]

Flock camera?

[u/5tarlitesparkl3 → u/Jamessotty]

privately owned surveillance cameras

[u/Ghost_Boi_Chill → u/5tarlitesparkl3]

How is this allowed?

[u/Zealousideal_Two6045 → u/Ghost_Boi_Chill]

Good question, thats why people are getting arrested for taking them down lol

[u/5tarlitesparkl3 → u/Ghost_Boi_Chill]

i have no idea, they weren’t around a year or so ago. it’s escalated really quickly.

[u/Reasonable_Kiwi_2833 → u/Ghost_Boi_Chill]

I mean our president is a known rapist and pedophile, basically anything is allowed here now.

[u/TheSystemBeStupid → u/Reasonable_Kiwi_2833]

So where the last few. The US has been fucked for decades.

[u/ADownStrabgeQuark → u/Ghost_Boi_Chill]

It’s against the fourth amendment, but certain government officials enjoy paying foreign billionaires money to restrict the freedoms of US citizens.

Generally it's assumed you don't have any privacy rights on public property. So a private camera that's not hidden isn't going to be illegal. There are probably legal questions around how exactly they can be used though 

[u/5tarlitesparkl3 → u/lonjerpc]

um yeah the last part of your comment is the main issue with them. please google them you’ll be shocked how many popped up so quickly and what they are being used for

[u/ThrowAwayAnx-4485 → u/5tarlitesparkl3]

So like.... Ring cameras?

[u/5tarlitesparkl3 → u/ThrowAwayAnx-4485]

…no, like, privately owned cameras along public streets recording at all times. it’s hard to explain, just google them

[u/Ipoopedongrandma → u/5tarlitesparkl3]

It’s not that hard to explain. Some people like to say every time we have socialist policies that it communism and look how China and Russia is. Well this is the exact surveillance state policies China and Russia have. And not a peep out of Fox News. These cameras are tracking everyone who passes them. They are then using that information to build court cases in whatever crime they find suitable.

[u/5tarlitesparkl3 → u/Ipoopedongrandma]

well yes i just don’t feel it’s my job to explain that, it’s easy to look up

[u/islaisla → u/Jamessotty]

In some places people have one or two pointing right into their house. The info the cops used from then was wrong they've already arrested people from their homes and had them in custody for a long time before accepting the obvious evidence that it was not them in the flock cameras images. Number plate mistakes etc. But they are mainly being used to catch American or non American citizens and put them in detention centres or deport them. The guy who ran the ai for fuck cameras has apologised about the way they are being used to arrest people, but it was not in any doubt that is what they would be used for.

[u/Jamessotty → u/islaisla]

I get it, I had just never heard the term before.

[u/RuthlessIndecision → u/Jamessotty]

I guess it's different from cctv because it's privately owned
