    These fucking cameras and all like them are the bane of my existence. I’m an ISP repair rep. People lose their fucking shit if they can’t surveil their fucking house for 5 minutes. “The Internet is down! Reboot it!” “Are you at home too troubleshoot?” “No! But I can’t see my fucking cat vomiting on my couch from work!!!” Jesus fucking Christ, your house will be there when you get home. Fuck

      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.
