What do you anons think about this thorny topic?

On one hand, yes these public cameras do violate privacy as once upon a time was protected by the 4th Amendment of the US Constitution.

On the other hand, yes Democrat soft-on-crime policies in major cities have lead to disastrous violent crime rates, including armed robberies and "smash and grabs". Because of this, now many Republicans support a police state whereas decades ago almost no one did.

My controversial take: the cities that cannot control their crime rates should absolutely have FLOCK cameras installed (at least temporarily until crime rates fall and more criminals get locked up). The areas where there is little to no crime rates should not and be able to enjoy a little more freedom because they already know how to run their communities properly.

I hate the surveillance state but I hate out of control anarchy too. The ideal civilization was to have neither, something we once took for granted.

rising crime rates are a myth. crime has consistently decreased year after year for the last three or so decades. this data is reported by police departments, by the way, so the dumbocrats or whatever can't fuck with it.

Yep, there needs to be a common sense balance. Just because you have some freedom does not mean you have the freedom to do any damn thing you want at others' expense and threat of well being. Even in the most free countries there are still laws to keep bad & stupid people from ruining society.

That is not a nationwide statistic, it has far more to do with where it is you actually live, what town or what city in what state. There are places that are absolutely third world ghetto slums and there are other areas where people don't worry as much about property theft/burglaries, gang violence, muggings, trespassing, grand theft auto, etc. The country is massive, not every place is the exact same, in reality it is extremely diverse in so many ways.

US intelligence services don't need laws to track you.
