To further this, I know someone who was a public defender a decade ago in the US. They would regularly try to get intersection camera footage to attempt to prove their clients not guilty. Often it was impossible to track down who owned the cameras, or even if they were municiple or private. I imagine this has only gotten worse as cameras have gotten cheaper.
Tape over lens and watch who comes out? I am very much not a lawyer.
So many systems are legacy and entirely unused, or best effort - ie. if the camera is working, it'll be used, but nobody will be sent to repair it if it's broken.

I will place and maintain road cameras for $50/yr, including data connectivity for plates. Minimum 1,000 cameras. 75% uptime/scan rate guarantee.
>for $50/yr..... Minimum how many years? I see software doesn't seem to be incuded. Also, your numbers sound like you like to bid for government contracts.

The main reason people would downvote your comment is form, not content. And, if it's the content, it's probably because you raised your legitimate complaints to a tone of hysteria.

The use of dash cams is effectively illegal in Austria on privacy grounds: https://travel.stackexchange.com/questions/152064/are-dash-c...
This is a very foreign concept to me in the US. Even though I do think we have a right to privacy from the government, there's something to be said for allowing private citizens to record whatever they want in public.

From the general tone of the rest of the comment, it's likely they're referring to actions taken adjacent to the Black Lives Matter protests which were depicted in some news media as being like a war zone. Oddly, none of the cities today look like, I don't know, Ukraine. But some people will make mountains from molehills.
I was under the impression that “firebombing” exclusively referred to aerial firebombing during war, so it sounded super strange. Now that i looked up the term, i see that it can mean “any act in which an incendiary device is used to initiate a fire”.
At this point I’m carrying so many electronic devices with me or at home that I’ve give up on going out of my way to prevent getting tracked. My best effort is to trust Apple doesn’t sell me out.

Portland, amongst others.
Yeah, Portland was basically wiped off the map.
