When the government tells you it’s good for you it’s definitely bad.

That's quite an improvement on your videos, good job!
And the cops no matter how good they are when they go bad they will with hold footage and destroy tapes but when they need it it’s on
Surveillance technology saves lives. Time to amend the Constitution to allow for mass surveillance.
So it took the liscense plate reader to find the mass murderer but the police had to have entered his plate for camera to ping it according to the them. So if they had the plate then they knew his name and info already! Those cameras read more than plate numbers, they can capture whose driving as well.
who would've thought, a mericans are living in an authoritarian country all this time…
The stupid phone that you are mindlessly staring at right now watches you all the time in real time, not just in traffic.
I dont like that America is putting up Big Brother Eyes on every corner saying is "Safety" well one day they will use that number to find people that dont agree with the American Government and those individuals will disappear
Ezpass readers read license plate!!!! My camera at home is reading license plate
And we know this technology is just the beginning to open up many doors for surveillance on every private citizen just another set of eyes in the sky…… just like the song says they want to know everything you do and everything you think they want to have total control
I’m glad the tool was helpful in catching the serial killer. But are there regulations and policies in place to prevent abuse and internal/external audits? So we don’t keep going down the path of a surveillance state.
It's the political persecutions that r going on here .. Leading to more abuse.. definitely need to research myself bc our corporate media r a bunch of liars ..
I can’t believe so many people are proponents of this technology. Get rid of this garbage We don’t want a surveillance state.
How is it controversial, I thought they already did stuff like this
If you’re going to have this level of technology gives us our full 2nd amendment rights!
Why can't they use that for all the smash and grabs? Why couldn't they have that technology in the prison Epstein was in?
Cops are lying. Cops can't be trusted. They will abuse this and useless against their foes
So maybe use the technology more often to catch killers, and other violent suspects? 😅 they probably just use it to tow vehicles and write tickets though
Simply put, it's a technology that can be abused. We all know it. On the one hand, if my loved one were killed, if this technology could be used to find the killer, I'd obviously want it used. On the other, if there's a campaign to disenfranchise a group of people, target a political rival, go after a cop's ex girlfriend who dumped him, etc., this tech can be scary. It very quickly moves toward the camera system they have in China, where there's literally no where you can go that you can't be targeted.
Make sure to make it available for every state or county please!!!
