    Just because someone is in public doesn’t mean that they need to be under 24/7 surveillance by big brother. Isn’t England already infested with security cameras? The US is pretty lousy with them in some places and if I knew they were actively watching me I’d make a habit of breaking them, not praise them for helping to overpolice every square inch of the country

      Again, if you can be seen in public you already are. Anyone is a witness to your crimes.

        can you list out your crimes you committed today pls? We know you did, its impossible to have not. You might not know you did, but you did. We all saw it.

            Allow me to rephrase that. If an authority figure wants to prosecute you for whatever reason, even if you’ve been perfectly “legal”, they will make up a crime you committed based on something they didn’t like about you. This driving-camera crap just gives them more opportunities.

            I got ticketed not too long ago because a police officer thought I was texting when I wasn’t doing anything other than looking at Google Maps. You don’t have to have committed a crime. You just have to have yourself recorded in a way that looks like you might have committed a crime. There is a VERY BIG DIFFERENCE between those qualifiers, and it is ripe for abuse. Innocence doesn’t prove innocence, and proving innocence is what matters.

              Hey, sorry to hear you got hosed. I think the thing a lot of people who follow cases of police corruption are beginning to realize is always be filming yourself in your car. Have front and rear cams and to your point here, having an in cabin camera might not be bad. It sucks that this is where we are unfortunately. Have the evidence of your innocence.

                what a twisted world view you have – even though it is literally impossible to know the law (its not even countable how many laws there are), you think its fine to record people’s every move while in public and try to fine them for arbitrary misbehaviors…and when that power is inevitably abused, your response is to also record yourself constantly? i sincerely hope you are nowhere near a position of authority.

                  Look, you can complain about this all you want. If you do not like it, you have the opportunity to take it up with your representatives ( hopefully ) and see if laws can be changed, but in the US, this is the reality. Anyone can film you in public. It’s protected under the constitution while you are in public. If you break a law on camera then you can be punished for it. If you don’t want that to happen, take steps to ensure you’re not falsy accused. It’s simple logic.

                  None of what I said has any opinion in it. It’s the reality of the modern world. I don’t like or dislike it. It’s just how it’s going to be unless we alter the First Amendment of the US constitution and that’s highly unlikely in the US.

                    also legal in america: forcing a 12 year old to carry her rapist’s child to term, and fining/imprisoning her if she even attempts to abort the result.

                    your sense of morality is compromised and I want nothing to do with you. please do not respond to me any further.
