Countries with extensive cctv networks still have lots of crime, almost like surveillance is the wrong answer to lowering crime or something
It's a good answer if you want to watch all the crime that's still happening
Until police selectively disables some cameras whenever it goes outside.
It's a good answer if your goal isn't actually to lower crime but you say it is so you can add buttloads of surveillance for data gathering
Honestly if we want crime to go down we should just stop reporting it.
How much good did it make in all these years before tv?
Here we go with this 1984-nonsense
Obvious spyware grift is obvious.
It's owned by Amazon. A no brainer to avoid, really
I HATE IT HERE
This just in, Ring's CEO admits to being a complete idiot. Look at the cameras in the UK. Mass surveillance does not stop crime.
Oh that's awesome I didn't realize cameras are able to create a system where the basic necessities of life aren't locked down by money, where people aren't being disenfranchised/marginalized/exploited and not having to fend out for themselves figuring out any way to survive but instead working together to answer everybody's needs
Hey, how about zeroing out wage theft?
This guy can get fucked
Lol. GTFO here ya clown. Anyone that lives in a big city knows that cameras don't stop crimes. Tweekers, dirty cops, politicians... none of em give a shit if they're on camera.
The only thing it will do is to further reduce our privacy and expose our data to big corpos
Coughcough
Ring CEO:
I'm just starting reading the book The Circle and I just got to the post where they announced the same thing.
We are just so fucked from every angle, from this to Teams reporting everything you do to the man to everything else.
He's full of shit
If you're in the UK could you get prosecuted for saying something "grossly offensive" around one of those ring door bells?
A famous criminal lawyer in Australia told me that CCTV is a bluff. The perpetrator merely needs to deny it is them.
My friend employed an expert witness to perform computerized facial pattern recognition but the other party got their own "expert" to counter it.
this man's face looks like about to emit a nasal laughter while he plugs a ring camera into a UPS, singlehandedly putting humanity's most secured military zones to shame
Ring doorbell is watching you.
