    I do not visit homes with this garbage installed. I’ve got a little blurb written that I give to friends who own one, explaining why they’re a problem and proposing some more privacy respecting alternatives. And before you ask, no, I don’t have a lot of friends left.

      You know it’s an opt-in for the owners right? What are you doing anyways that makes you so worried police will catch you anyways?

        I have no respect for the ‘nothing to hide, nothing to fear’ argument, and I will not be engaging with it. You can simply Google why this is drastically wrong. It’s not worth my energy to explain it.

        Take 3 seconds to think about why this is a terrible way to think

        While we’re getting rid of our rights, let’s just get rid of the entire justice system and democracy because people always do the right thing, especially cops who are never filmed all the time murdering people for their egos being hurt or just flagrant racism.

          Judging by all the pearl clutching, attacks and out of reality reactions going on, I’d say it was spot on.

            (Note the lack of even a basic attempt to address the actual material of the argument)

          Weird. I’m brown and have brown neighbors. None of us are worried. Maybe you need to touch grass.

            Brown people are getting disappeared into unmarked vans all over the country but I’m glad you aren’t worried.

        It’s opt-in for now, but not if they don’t get as many options as they want. Also ring cameras often show a lot more than your property they show the street and other neighbors houses as well.
