      This is what they are monitoring for, to try to match people up who might do vandalism on the cameras.

      You gotta say “DEFINITELY NOBODY TIE BLACK GARBAGE BAGS OVER FLOCK CAMERA.”

        Yes, but if we make them monitor everybody, then we can increase the signal to noise ratio so much that they can’t catch anybody.

          I fear this is no longer true. Technology has trivialized the cost to surveil a country’s population. The U.S. will endlessly fund doing so.

          I agree with @ji_reilly@lemmy.ml.

          If it was a human that was reviewing all that footage, maybe but if it’s all automated by AI, especially as AI gets better, there is no noise. Only a camera logging everything you do in a searchable database.
