Wired magazine says owning a home security camera "increases the possibility of racial profiling," you racist.
Yes, it would be evil if you learned that, say, young black males commit a massive percentage of crime compared to the rest of the American population.
What are you going to believe, the writers of a tech magazine or those lying FBI stats and video evidence from every house across the nation?
“…there's no evidence that more video surveillance footage keeps communities safer. Instead, Neighbors increases the possibility of racial profiling. It makes it easier for both private citizens and law enforcement agencies to target certain groups for suspicion of crime based on skin color, ethnicity, religion, or country of origin.” Wired Magazine
Wired is also concerned that private owners are able to forward video footage of their own free will to police. Amazon's Ring doorbell seems to draw the most ire:
“This is a feature unique to Ring — even Nextdoor removed its Forward to Police feature in 2020, which allowed Nextdoor users to forward their own safety posts to local law enforcement agencies. If a crime has been committed, law enforcement should obtain a warrant to access civilian video footage.” Wired Magazine
You probably shouldn't even upload it to social media, comrade!
“…we occasionally end up with products that can be dangerous to you, or to society in general, which we believe to be the case with Amazon-owned Ring and its relationship with law enforcement.” Wired Magazine
"There's a lot of products I consider dangerous to society, but the Ring doorbell is near the bottom of that list. If you have cops arrest an armed carjacker on your front lawn 10 feet from where your toddler is sleeping, like happened to me a month ago, I'm not going to worry about damaging the Narrative™ - I'm going to do everything in my power to make sure that person goes to jail for a long time.” Not the Bee writer AnnieOakley.
You'll be very surprised to learn that Wired writer Adrienne So lives in Portland, Oregon.
