much thanks to @gary_host_laptop for the logo design :)
Sounds like cameras would still be allowed on private property and it doesn’t prohibit police from buying access to those databases.
The word "acknowledged" seems to have been dropped from the title.
The cynic in me says there's no way this passes and gets signed...right?
Well even law enforcement and politicians (corrupt or not) don't want this.
The cops maybe, but the agencies are in the pockets of the companies that sell it. And they control the message given to politicians who are also on the pockets of these companies. The companies have no qualms bribing all over the spectrum of politics and haven't been stopped from doing it up to now. The systems are crap but super expensive for this very reason. The primary cost of the product is the bribes, not the technology. It's how the industry of road cameras (plate tracking, red light, speed, etc.) has always been.
Tell your representatives that you want them to vote yes on this.
I'd rather they stop invading our privacy, than pay double to privatize invading our privacy.
Holy shit please
