  I’m not from US - why is it forbidden to have a large group of people in the backyard?

  It isn’t.

  Any excuse to use surveillance cameras to spy on people will be used. It’s not forbidden to have a party, but the shithead cops want to spy on people anyway just in case they might catch them breaking some laws.

  There is also a nationwide program being implemented to feed the video from private security cameras into police surveillance systems. It’s called FUSUS and they use equipment installed in private networks to upload the private security cameras’ video to the police surveillance systems. Lots of people are signing on to this horrific program - businesses, schools, churches, community centers, etc. The police can use it to track people with video surveillance without a warrant. Security cameras anywhere you go could be potentially tapped into by government authorities to monitor you. It’s already all over the USA and being rolled out in the UK now too.

  Just as it is in the UK with their surveillance cameras everywhere, this is the future that George Orwell tried to warn us about.

  It’s not forbidden. This is a huge overstep by the police but typical of American police, who are allowed to violate our civil rights with impunity.
