Surveillance cameras are being used to punish and evict public housing residents

Honestly, sounds like the system is working as intended. Spitting in the halway and stealing laundry carts sound minor, but they contribute to making life miserable for the other tenants.

Isn’t that always the case, and I bet some people were defending the decision to put these cameras to “feel more secure” little they know governments will always use these tools against public interests at the first opportunity, same goes with fear mongering tactics against encryptions in communication and the need to “backdoor” any platform to “protect us for the monsters!!!”, same goes with Covid19 vaccine app, regardless of your take about it, the fact the “vax tracking app” started to be used as an official identity was alarming, with all the privacy violation and tracking it can do.
