We have all heard the argument that when corporations intentionally make the legal option worse it drives otherwise law abiding customers to pirate the content instead because piracy provides a better service than paying the corporation for their kneecapped product.
I dont see how the same thing doesnt apply to governments.
The people tell you over and over they dont want to live under a surveilance police state. So natually the corporations and government work together to create a fascist police state and they expect the people to be good little slaves and simply sell their souls to their government.
Especially in the day of ai when they could just fake those images incredibly easily to frame someone. They dont need a patsy the next time they jfk someone they just find some sucker with a weak alibi from a list of potential suckers and then fake some cctv images and cell phone data and they can put you where ever they want to.
The only real defence is to buy your own body cam and document every moment of your life so you can have competing evidence.
At this point im surprised damaging the cameras is the only thing these activists are doing.
I wouldnt be surprised to see flock employees and corrupt politicians finding bombs under their cars. Which will likely be used to justify more cameras which will only intensify the terrorist activity.
The tree of liberty is long overdue for a good watering.
