"Then, if you feel your rights were violated, THEN go sue." You cant roll over like a puppy, give over unfettered access to all your personal info, space, and life, and then sue. You literally gave them permission so all rights to privacy were waved. You HAVE TO ASSERT YOUR RIGHTS if you want to make a claim. Your bs stickman argument is falling apart Tony. Keep kissing that jackboot as hard as you like.

The police narrative on "uncooperative" is a fascinating one. It can range from asking questions, asserting one's rights from unreasonable search and seizure to simply being unable to give them your hands when youve got a knee on your neck while face down on the pavement despite repeated commands. What the video shows is often quite different and when you "Tony" get the taste of boot out of your mouth and wake up to what is going on, then maybe youll quit playing the government narrative like its the truth.

This has been going on as long as there have been police and some agenda to exact justice without good police work to properly identify the suspect. The CIA ramped up suspected terrorists with its rendition programs in 2001 using common world wide names of people who were not only innocent but if released alive, became enemies of the US simply because of the way they were treated. Now with facial recognition stepping in its going to get a whole lot worse. With more people being scooped up by unmarked officers and vehicles, its likely someone fearing assault, robbery, and kidnapping are going to fight back and get killed because the police cant be bothered to announce themselves properly. Bad information makes bad police decisions.

Comment So much for privacy (Score 4, Interesting) 69

If you think the video footage wont be used for anything other than delivery, think again. That data will be kept for proof of delivery but cloud searchable by every LEO looking for activity in the area suspected of a crime with full facial recognition software, plate readers, and GPS backed by AI to identify potential targets. Amazon already handed your Ring data over, whats to stop it from happening again since there is no more expectation of privacy in the brave new world.

Thats why they hand over Ring camera data to police without notice, already have sold patrons on a home listening device to gather marketing data, and aquired medical companies to gather you health info...just sweethearts really buying up all the competition so they can invade and profit off every aspect of your life.

Comment Its your choice (Score 1) 41

Buy and install your own equipment and give yourself the option. The fact that paying consumers have no choice after that lawsuit is a testament to how little Amazon or Ring care about their customers. It should require an explicit "opt in" agreement.

People like shitty mindless tunes with a predictable beat, catchy hook, and familiar sound. The music industry has been doing this for 80 years now. There are too many artists with stories who had been turned down by execs because their music didnt fit the mold. Now people are so used to the mold thats comfortable and familiar they cant distinguish it from anything else. So what.
