  I’m not saying I trust the police. I’m saying if it’s outright unconstitutional to access without the courts, the IT department is going to put checks in the system

  It’s like how you can’t trust HR to protect you personally, but you can rely on them to protect the organization

    I understand it is unconstitutional. My point is that it simply does not matter to the cops. Again, the easier thing is to not have cameras at all. Systems can be circumvented. Not having the cameras at all makes it so nobody can abuse them. Mass surveillance is not necessary or good.

      I mean, not doing mass surveillance altogether sounds like a great idea… I’m not sure that’s directly possible right now though

      My point is that it’s not just a worse version of mass surveillance, it’s orders of magnitude worse. It absolves everyone from any actual responsibility, and in doing so absolutely guarantees these systems will be abused by police

        I don’t that level of faith in the court, especially the SCOTUS, to have that level of optimism.
