Quoted from t2:Police are not putting any energy into going after a $10 theft. In my neighborhood the thiefs drive to the end of the street and drop 2 guys off. Then the 2 guys walk up the street checking every car door in the street and drives. Neighbors cameras catch them they call the police and police say lock your doors and don't leave any valuables in the car. They don't take reports unless it over $500.
I caught a guy once at 4:00 am when leaving to plow snow. What am I going to do take a baseball bat to his head? Then I'm getting sued. Called police and he said it's not illegal for someone to walk on your property no matter how much you don't like it.
The police haven’t heard of trespassing? Lmfao wild.
Quoted from gdonovan:And that is eventually how you get to a police state.
Reject it. Allow nothing connected to the 'net in your home aside from a dumb computer. Let lawmakers know how you feel small and large about the lawless invasion of privacy. Let vendors know their products will NOT be purchased. Shun Google, Facebook and Amazon, there are plenty of alternatives.
Yes, don’t just “give up” if you don’t resist then you’re complacent in the surveillance overload. Sooner or later companies will get savvy and start marketing camera-busting equipment to those who want it. It’s possible now to make wearable hats and such that defeat cameras with different spectrums of light or straight up are designed to fry them EMP-style. Most of those are DIY but it’s possible and beating them is getting as commercially available as the cameras themselves.
What’s important is gets laws and policies in place to reel in Amazon and Google. They are the worst spy hubs. The have insane amounts of data stored, and have been found guilty numerous times of breaking the law to collect data on people.
Just keep up the fight and don’t welcome the criminals right into your home.
Home security systems on private offline networks are way way more secure anyway.
You know some of the most private and high level government operations, like nuclear launch code level stuff, is now kept on decades old computer equipment. It’s really impossible to hack some old reel to reel tapes and such lol
