You don’t know shit about me bro. Creepers gonna creep. If they want to hide a camera they can do it in lapel pin or something. Being paranoid about it won’t stop anything. Making legislation to require a recording light will just de-tune the public’s vigilance when they don’t see a light. It won’t stop people from taking discrete photos. If you’re scared of having your photo taken, stay inside. There are a huge number of automatic license plate cameras owned by corporations logging your plates. They may also be capturing and analyzing your face. That is a lot more concerning to me than some dude wearing glasses.
and you want them to have better equipment to creep with.
lapel pin cameras are shitty resolution, and you can't point them at your target by moving your head.
stop acting like it's not a problem. I'm not scared of having MY photo taken, it's the upskirts on escalators and creeps peering down blouses, you dolt.
I despise license plate cameras, but that's an entirely different kind of invasion of privacy and you KNOW this.
I know you're not concerned by some dude wearing glasses, and I can see you don't give two fucks about those who are.
At least with glasses cameras they aren’t filming anything they can’t already see
You don't care. We get it.
