Big Brother just got an upgrade.
Starting December, Amazon’s Ring cameras will scan and recognize faces. Don’t want to be in their database? Too bad — walk past a Ring and your face can be stored, tagged, & analyzed without consent.
One step closer to total surveillance.

Americans are fucking weird, they piss and moan about speed and red light cameras, and claim they are unconstitutional. However, the Ring shit is good to go.
Ring cameras don't toss a fine at you for walking past them too quickly.
Also, where are people complaining about red light cameras, so I can avoid taking my bike or car anywhere near there? It's probably a vocal minority, but I'd prefer to know and cover my ass. Just in case.
Nah Ring cameras will just toss police to your door because you look loosely like a person of interest in a case.
Good think police visiting houses doesn't lead to the death of innocent people on the regular.
they even have speed cameras now, any slightly above the speed limit of a street will imediately give a warning, and fine if it occurs multiple times. you can easily accidentally go over like 5 miles above in an empty street.
So you drive over the permitted speed limit put in place to protect pedestrians on "an empty street". And you're complaining about getting multiple warnings before getting fined for ignoring the safe speed limit? You 'accidentally' went over the speed limit multiple times on the same street, but the rules shouldn't apply to you I guess, your highness.
Hell if your car is old bitch like mine you may run into the problem of your speedometer being very minutely off. It's nothing massive just a mile or two off, but my 01 Tacoma doesn't have cruise control so I can't be cautious that way so it can be problematic.
So just people can't perceive longer term costs. Damn the government can decrease this backlash so much by just billing from their liability insurance directly instead of sending the fine to the person.
All of Ontario apparently
