Quoted from Asmig:Yep, he was a trailer thief casing it and just happened to see the easy target next to it.
What a dickhead! I thought it was odd he would somehow see that battery. You guys are right. He’s casing the trailer and just takes the battery because the guys an asshole.
Joe, would you say something to him if you saw him again, or just let the police handle it?
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
Quoted from flynnibus:This is like the contrails conspiracy theorist. Yes, you see contrails... but just because they exist doesn't mean what you think it means!
Just seeing traffic on the wire w/o interpreting it or understanding what the payload and usage is.. is just a misuse of facts to draw incorrect conclusions.
That article by the EFF is just as bad. It postulates that because the app sends data to non-Ring sites it is therefore sharing data with 3rd parties and using 'tracking'. Where as, the reality is probably more like Ring is using those software platforms as 3rd party components in their product to deliver their service. Using them for analytics capturing, crash reporting, SDKs for features, etc.
This is common in modern internet connected software. Back in the day, you'd take a 3rd party software library and compile/include it with your software to implement some functionality. Now.. you use commonly refer to APIs on cloud services to facilitate similar things. The facebook mention for instance is common for providing an authentication service. The simple use of 3rd party services does not automatically mean the company is sharing your data, selling it, or letting others 'track' you.
This is most common in analytics.. countless companies port their log streams to companies like Splunk as they provide the big data and elastic search capabilities to crunch the data... vs building it yourself. Yes, these companies must protect their data... but the use of 3rd party does not infer 'sharing' or selling.
It's just more paranoia
Lol if you really wanna believe that “data theft” and companies building personal profiles on you is “just a conspiracy theory” it’s not. It’s come out plenty of times and the illusion that you have “nothing to hide” it’s extremely dangerous lol. It’s not about breaking the law. It’s the scientific fact that people and society does not behave the same when observed under constant inescapable surveillance. It’s dangerous and damaging to the sustainability of our country.
Just because everyone has sex does that mean you’re okay with Jeff Bezos listening in every time you do the nasty?
No, because privacy is essential to the human identity.
