Amanda Glenn, a former program manager at the New Jersey Board of Tree Experts, alleges in court papers a colleague informed her in October 2023 about a concealed Ring camera, camouflaged with tape, positioned in the shared office space to monitor her work.
They don’t fucking own you.
They sure as hell act like it though
Well for one, I’m glad law enforcement are required to have body cams for accountability. Imagine if police unions lobbied so that the body cam requirement is be removed because of privacy reasons.
Except they have full control over those cameras and the footage they record.
Anytime there’s misconduct they just refuse to release the footage or they turn off the camera.
We should have civil rights organizations be in charge of the footage.
Make them automatically upload to ACLU servers.
Police brutality plummets.
Except even when they are filmed nothing happens, they just get paid leave or shuffled to another department.
Before video evidence became a thing, almost 0% of police brutality would face any consequences. With video, its now non-zero, should be ideally at 100%, but getting the statistic away from 0% is a great start. The murderer of George Floyd would’ve walked away without video evidence. When there’s more cameras, the odds of punishment is better than without cameras.
That’s a fair point, I’m just skeptical how much of a difference a new tech gadget can make on systemic issues.
It’s fine for cops to have less privacy than normal workers, considering they are given much more responsibility and power.
Those cameras aren’t pointing at them. This was pointed at her.
