bdeimen A device that I can put in a faraday bag if I want to is in no way the same as a publicly established system that has already repeatedly been shown to be abused. Reply

logainofhades Like anything else, there are pros and cons to this tech. On one hand it could help with finding a kidnap victim, or stolen vehicle. The other, is it could be used for the very things the townsfolk are concerned about. There needs to be regulations in place, that protects the constitutional rights of people, for this kind of surveillance. I highly doubt that is the case, or the town would have been made aware of such things, and this story would have never been a thing. Reply

passivecool First, @logainofhades, while reading the article I was of the opinion that it would not be possible to write a non-political, purely technical comment, or at least one acceptable as per TH forum rules. You displayed great skills dancing on that razor blade, kudos! I hope I can follow your acrobatics without being chopped off. Argument 1: Psychology 101. No one can bear the feeling of being observed and evaluated all the time. The measurement always changes that which is measured. This feeling of control can lead to different reactions, from complacency, to militant resistance, to paranoic paralysis. We all insist on our right to misbehave, no? Argument 2. if a community decides; we have problems with speeding or running red lights or crime or whatever at THIS intersection/ on THIS road, and therefore we are going to monitor it AND we will put up a warning signs to modulate behavior HERE then… general acceptance is generally very high. Cuz it is not for 'them' but for 'us'. DUH . We can dance around the maypole of tech and IT, but in the end, 90% of all of this is about real PEOPLE! Communication with people with their and concerns and needs and fears, their community and their environment. AI and data centers and traffic monitors we seem to have lost the ability to talk to each other in a normal, civilized, respectful way. Plead 1. can we all try to go back to disagreeing agreeably? With the understanding that most people want to do the right thing, and that it is strenuous to discuss and find the best compromise but that is worth the effort? Long stretch i know. Tech can not save the world for us, we need to take a deep breath and stop attacking each other. Reply
