Police in U.S. say technology is helpful but researchers say Canada should hesitate before using it
If I have cameras… I really don’t mind supplying the footage if police ask. But I really would like that they ask. And I REALLY don’t want them to have footage that they don’t ask for and don’t obtain a warrant for.
It’s still flash storage inside our phones but it’s permanently mounted.
"Police in U.S. say technology is helpful[...]"
The same police in the US who need military grade APCs for reasons unknowable to the universe?

It was useful in Nakatomi Plaza siege, oh wait…
How does this Fusus get access to private security camera feeds? I would assume companies and citizens will have to opt in to the sharing? www.fusus.com
Yep, it’s opt in from the article
This is why I refuse to own Ring cameras. Any company that has a program at all to share with the police is a nope from me. I don’t care if they say it’s opt in, it won’t be.
fucking disgusting
This is the best summary I could come up with:

Some of those in attendance saw a demo of Fusus — a paid service that makes it easier for police to access privately owned security camera footage from residents and businesses.

She points to Clearview AI, a controversial facial recognition tool Canadian police services secretly used until privacy watchdogs ordered them to stop.
Tusikov said Fusus would be a “disproportionate response” to crimes like auto theft, which has been surging in Canada, and likely wouldn’t help with intimate partner violence, which has been declared an epidemic in Hamilton and other cities across the country.

CBC contacted Canadian police services at the Real Time Crime Center Operations and Tech Integration conference, asking if any of them use Fusus or are exploring using it or similar technology.
(tldr: 9 sentences skipped)
“We would especially encourage this given that Fusus appears to involve real-time monitoring and unmediated access to private surveillance cameras which may come with a greater risk of intrusion into the privacy of individuals,” the IPC said.

And this is why I have no cameras in my homeLand_Strider@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Hmm, do you have something to hide? A camera twerk a day keeps the search orders away!

My homie, my twerks are free for all visitors, but you gotta leave the camera at the door

No, no, this is why I walk around naked. If they’re going to be spying on me, I want to make them suffer
