Police in U.S. say technology is helpful but researchers say Canada should hesitate before using it
Police in Canada look into tech that accesses your home security cameras

This isn't really the issue.
The real issue is that people have become so soft, so INCREDIBLY dependant on convenience, that they have given up all control. Having autonomy/privacy/ownership over your own environment is just too much work. It's easier to just let someone else handle the surveillance system for you. What could go wrong?
This issue of complacency plagues just about everything, from cloud computing and banking to transportation and housing.

wall-e except it'll be even more dystopian and the robot love story will instead be a deathmatch between rival corporation robo-wardogs

I'm really unsure of how this will play out. Gen Z seems to be way more okay with stuff like this and I think it's just a general mindset shift that I don't really see changing. Gen Z tends to constantly share their location with every acquaintance, on snapchat, etc all the time.
As much as stuff like this freaks me out and seems many steps too far, younger generations don't, so I feel this is going to get worse over time, not better.

And this is why I have no cameras in my home

Hmm, do you have something to hide? A camera twerk a day keeps the search orders away!
southsamurai 3 points 3 years ago
My homie, my twerks are free for all visitors, but you gotta leave the camera at the door

The same police in the US who need military grade APCs for reasons unknowable to the universe?
It was useful in Nakatomi Plaza siege, oh wait..

How does this Fusus get access to private security camera feeds? I would assume companies and citizens will have to opt in to the sharing? https://www.fusus.com/

fucking disgusting

This is the best summary I could come up with:
(tldr: 5 sentences skipped)
Some of those in attendance saw a demo of Fusus — a paid service that makes it easier for police to access privately owned security camera footage from residents and businesses.
(tldr: 12 sentences skipped)
The cameras, Barth said, are a "time-saver" for lower-priority calls like property crimes and make it easy for police to give video to lawyers requesting footage of car crashes.
(tldr: 6 sentences skipped)
She points to Clearview AI, a controversial facial recognition tool Canadian police services secretly used until privacy watchdogs ordered them to stop.
Tusikov said Fusus would be a "disproportionate response" to crimes like auto theft, which has been surging in Canada, and likely wouldn't help with intimate partner violence, which has been declared an epidemic in Hamilton and other cities across the country.
(tldr: 17 sentences skipped)
CBC contacted Canadian police services at the Real Time Crime Center Operations and Tech Integration conference, asking if any of them use Fusus or are exploring using it or similar technology.
(tldr: 9 sentences skipped)
"We would especially encourage this given that Fusus appears to involve real-time monitoring and unmediated access to private surveillance cameras which may come with a greater risk of intrusion into the privacy of individuals," the IPC said.
The original article contains 1,187 words, the summary contains 208 words. Saved 82%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!

I wonder how disastrously bad things will need to get before it finally breaks through into public consciousness that maybe putting surveillance cameras everywhere was a bad idea. I expect we'll find out in a couple of decades.
