we had 15 megapixel cameras wired into DHS all over my home in arizona way back in 2010 and could barely get anybody upset about them even though we have local (actual) leftist groups, antifa, etc. there was only one person destroying any cameras and they were never caught (don't ask how I know)

I know it's not exactly the same right now as in 2010 but materially the cameras were the exact same shit so you can posit it's not about the cameras for a lot of people, they don't intrinsically value privacy from omniscent surveillance. they tolerated it quite well before.

I don't really care when somebody decided the surveillance panopticon was unacceptable, nor for what reasons they came to that conclusion. They're cutting down the cameras now, so I won't look a gift horse in the mouth.

@sun I think the big difference is the ability to network the cameras together with AI being used to identify individuals and their vehicles. The current network of AI surveillance is magnitudes of order more effective and accessible than whatever was around back in 2010. So, it's not really comparable.
