Jeepers creepers where'd you get those peepers

If it weren't for the normalization of surveillance we wouldn't get amazingly disturbing images like this one.

The privacy issues with Teslas are beyond what I would have expected. Intimate moments captured by your car and shared around the Tesla offices like a joke? Or that simply walking past one in a parking lot can get you captured on camera and uploaded and examined by data labelers? Yikes.

Jeepers creepers, no one can hide from those peepers

Sometimes surveillance cameras are installed in such a way as to blend seamlessly into the background. Other times you get nightmare fuel.

I think I'll hold it. I'd rather not piss away my last shred of privacy, thank you very much.

Candid Camera and all the hidden camera shoes that came after it were always a little creepy when you think about them secretly recording people without their prior consent. That's pretty much the same thing that the new surveillance comedy show from Amazon will be as well, except this time the cameras will be everywhere, and it will give people yet another reason to participate in a surveillance state that feeds data directly to police without permission.

So much for good fences making good neighbours

Privacy is, unfortunately, something that can be pretty easily violated simply by disregarding social norms. In this case, however,  there are all kinds of possible solutions (a taller fence, a paintball, a high powered laser pointer, a well aimed/focused solar cooker, etc.)

I have a soft spot for pranks, and I would very much like to try this one some day (if I ever travel again)

Apparently Jeff Bezos makes the rules now, and he's decided to imbue his own employees with the powers normally held only by judges who grant search warrants. Something about private sector judges seems deeply unsettling.

It's bad enough knowing you're being watched. I think we can all do without the anthropomorphized machine judgements.

But who watches the Watcher Watchers?

I think we know how that goes. It's surveillance cameras all the way down.

Let's review the tape

Surveillance cameras are usually not hidden. Any thief worth their salt should be able to spot them and realize that they'd be captured on film (and later in person by police) if they tried steal from a business equipped with such cameras. Stealing from a business that MAKES them takes a special kind of stupid.

I guess surveillance isn't magic after all. Those cameras are valuable, of course someone is going to think to steal them.

On the plus side, at least you get a warning and can look around for the camera and obscure it's view before you go. It would be worse if you didn't know about it.

They don't stop you from doing the thing, only from getting away with it

It would be more accurate to call the surveillance cameras, but I think society has less tolerance for the concept of surveillance, even though it's going on all around us. Calling them security cameras seems like it's part of our surveillance denialism.

If my employer asked me to put a camera in my bedroom, they'd be looking for a new employee. I don't care if customer payment information is being handled by people at home, cameras in the bedroom is a deal breaker.

Maybe if banks had budgets the size of the Mars Program they could afford better cameras.

The idea behind it is probably to warn people about YOUR cameras, but the thing is, even if you don't have a camera, no matter where you take it it's probably telling the truth.

I have a feeling surveillance cameras can be enchanted, so you better make sure they're uploading a live feed into the cloud

Just another reason "security camera" is a bad name for them. They're surveillance cameras. They don't make your stuff more secure (even without the vulnerabilities), they just help see who the perpetrators are.

There isn't really any such thing as a security camera. Camera's don't make things more secure, they don't prevent unwanted outcomes, they simply help in catching people after the fact. The best they can hope to do as far as prevention is to serve as a deterrent, but for that to work they have to be plainly visible, not hidden in a mural. People are less likely to be deterred by a turtle looking at them than they are by an obvious camera looking at them.
