- And what did you tell them?

— That your front door video shows you coming and going from your home, your neighbors taking out the trash, and dog walkers and delivery guys doing their jobs on your street. Now we can have that footage streamed live to a dozen monitors that are monitored 24/7 by police. Even if you refuse to allow the footage to be used, your neighbor’s camera pointed at your house can still transmit video directly to the police. What’s more, we save taxpayers money because using residents’ personal cameras is a way to build a surveillance network in neighborhoods without having to spend money or build trust in the community in terms of transparency. Plus, it allows police departments to avoid the expense of purchasing surveillance equipment and shift that burden to consumers by convincing them that they need cameras to protect their property. It also avoids the natural reaction of fear and distrust that many people would have if they learned that the police had installed dozens of cameras in their neighborhood, one on each house.

- I understand, but it is my duty to simply brazil whatsapp data you of possible troubles.

Another two hours passed.

- Chief! There were three robbers. Two were robbing, one was sitting in the car and waiting. The car was a gray sedan. Here is its license plate and photos of the robbers. I have already sent a patrol. We have identified the robbers. They are three teenagers from the neighboring street. I think they are already being brought to us.

Thus began a new era of crime fighting on the island. Although, of course, privacy suffered another blow.
