    This is my father. We have about 10 ring cameras surrounding the house and I fucking hate it. Meanwhile, I’m also a distributor for security cameras and could easily replace all of them for free. He still insists no. He likes that he can easily prey on me when I go outside for 1-2 seconds to grab a drink or go outside for a smoke.

    I already hate feeling watched but the need for audio is just ridiculous. Law enforcement can basically just intercept the feeds and listen/watch you anytime they want to. The FBI abused a spy tool 280,000 times this year, so I doubt they’ll respect your rights, if you even have any at this point.

    I wish I grew up during the days without cameras being on every single building.

      Not to mention providers giving-in to subpoenas without even the slightest fight, and you would never know about it. Heck, some don’t even require subpoenas, a simple law enforcement request might be enough.
