so I’ve given that one some thought and came away with this: if ice / pd detains you, they’re going to take your recording devices. I need my glasses to see enough to walk around.
also, even more gross: they know what to look for, because until recently, ICE was using these devices. That’s been banned, but probably only because they’re making their own.
these might not have cell plans, but it wouldn’t be hard to make one with esim support and a panic livestream button so they can’t delete the recording.
perhaps? actually sounds like a project aaaand a privacy nightmare, unfettering these devices from whatever protections for the public meta engages in…
I’m all about surveilling ICE and law enforcement but… I don’t see these devices as an alternative at the end of the day.
recording teachers should be another valid use, you would bot believe the number of times teachers don’t do their legally mandated reporting and brush everything under the rug
the only 3 usecases for these are:
Assholes
Perverts
Blind people - sucks for them, because the first two are going to ruin it before it benefits anyone with disabilities
Yeah recording ICE activities might be another valid one
Though that could be done with another type of concealed camera I guess
