5·10 days agoThe worst thing is that this isn’t exactly new. The house heard about the vulnerabilities of this system in May.

Unfortunately, we’re in such a state of plutocracy and regulatory capture that even stating how big of a national security risk they are did not make any movement until now.

21·10 days agoIf you think for about two seconds about the national security implications about this, this is extremely, extremely bad.
The damage really just amounts to insignificant outliers. There’s so many cameras that the vandalized ones only make up a statistically insignificant portion.
At the moment, I believe the actual movement is coming from the ground up, grassroots movements that are going to their town halls and telling their representatives that they want these cameras the fuck out of their cities, and it seems to be working, at least somewhat.
I’d be lying though if I didn’t feel some kind of justice and satisfaction every time I see that one dude in Florida carrying around a camera.
