I worked at a place with guys who had to build and maintain cameras - parks and warehouses and intersections - and you're not far off what I remember the rules to be like.
Anything that records another person has a bunch of rules for acquisition, transfer and retention, but also security and storage and backup and sovereignty and ... the list goes on.
We're not going to even address a housing issue by allowing a few laneway shacks. In that respect, this kind of debate is a waste of time.
I say this as someone whose flooring was "blue paint on plywood"; like, that kind of poor.
We need to build now. We need to build tall, we need to build mixed-use to encaps the services and commercial and maybe some hotel/sro space. We need to build hyper-dense so we can claw back some land for massive shared parks and tennis courts and whatever to cut down on the claustro.
... And we need to absolutely do it now; like, "no new lesser-density wood-frame fire-trap bullshit lowboy half-assed boxes" unless and until density is up.
And anything with 5 min walk of a station now pays a huge prop tax surcharge if they're not a 50+ mixed-use tower, dammit.
I think we've seen cases where mortal fear and the associated adrenalin causes people to actually get up to save their own lives from this painful threat and try to flee to safety. There's no actual reasoning going on at that point, from what I hear. But the cops are in their own uncontrolled fight/flight mode, albeit the other side of the coin, and the target is still twitching/running and therefore not subdued. Bad cops escalate to another weapon.
"Doxx your employees or I'll whine that we don't have enough info from the gov" must have been the threat - probably into an iPhone held like a pizza slice - that prompted this article.
Except there's no way you should get the personal info of a private citizen without the courts being involved.
Federal investigators foiled a massive bomb plot brought on by ~20 domestic terrorists who immigrated from another, restless, country and thought that wanton destruction would somehow galvanize support FOR their position on the conflict back home.
Can confirm that OUR feds are worth their (really small) pay.
The current struggle in the middle east - and the powerful countries circling the issue and its history - raises an offensive but maybe useful suggestion as to how he could have lobbied successfully against jail time.
My grandpa used to say something like the idea that he never had problems with the 'few' times he drove home drunk so far. Then he ran someone over.
It's better to understand something is an avoidable risk BEFORE you're shown graphically.
