It was really surprising to hear what immense fidelity drone cameras can provide for data analysis.
It isn't enough that they can track everyone at all times by using phone data, they need actual videos? Combine that with AI and it's a complete privacy nightmare.
Thankfully I have nothing to hide, so there is nothing to worry about! /s
One of the neighbors saw someone rummaging around in their car, called the police. Unluckily for them, it was the wife of a police officer in town. Double unluckily, I have a number of outside Nest cameras and caught them not only breaking into (checking for unlocked doors) her car, but walking down the street and checking every single car. Triple unlucky, I have 4 or so local cops on my block and none of them were amused. They even stole a few bucks out of my car!
My footage positively identified the thieves, who we quickly realized were kids (17 and 18) and they were very quickly caught (don't break into cars and really don't break into local PD's spouses cars!). I assume nothing ever went to trial or there was any serious resistance as I was never contacted to authenticate the video footage or testify in any capacity.
I know it was them that were the ones doing the wrong thing, but you didn't lock your car doors?
