@pluralistic So if there's no other way to get to the other side of the street and I literally work at the end of the block, do I tell my boss I won't be in today because the only way I can opt out is to not go to work?

@pluralistic Why is everyone acting like this is a new thing?? Been going on for like 20+yrs now, at least here in the US. This is a result of what started in the name of "protection" not the beginning.

How long before they ditch the signs and start using cameras that look just like all the other cameras which are everywhere? Six months? Ten years?
@kbal @pluralistic They've probably been doing this for a few years now, and this is just a "Hi, how are you?"

@pluralistic I wonder what they’d think if some regular dude rolled up in his van doing this on his own rig.
@manchicken what makes you think this is an actual police van and not just one painted as such?

@pluralistic By the time one is able to read what the sign says on the van, it's kinda too late to "opt out"...

@dacmot @pluralistic I have no good reason to believe such a thing, nor do any passers-by. This is one of the problems with surveillance.

@MyYeeHaa @pluralistic It's an excellent time to start wearing an N95 mask in public, then.
As not only will you help protect yourself and others from a disease that rots your brain and body with each new infection. (COVID-19.)
But you'll also help protect yourself from another disease: the fascist rot ruining the world.

The people are doing it for them. And even paying for it, so the government doesn't have to. Check out how many Ring cameras are out there. Police is known to access them whenever there is something going on in the neighborhood.
Put some facial recognition software on it and you're set. No need to even announce it.
