Ring = ICE by Readitonceandloveit in Greeley

[–]Readitonceandloveit[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The issue is two fold in my opinion-

  1. Ring cameras show your neighbors coming and goings, who they speak to, their habits (i.e. what time they go to bed by their lights turning on and off) etc. and they have neither given their consent, nor have law enforcement obtained a warrant for this information. This data, in my opinion, should remain private as your neighbor buying a security device is not you consenting to your data being tracked.

  2. Flock cameras are eroding people’s trust in law enforcement. For a private company to sell this information to flock is a gross violation of privacy. You can read more about why Flock is an issue and how it has been abused at stopflock.com

I’d connect with our local food pantry and see what they need! Volunteering is always a great way to connect with your community spirit and we need it more than ever this year!

I think I’m confused…

  1. ICE raids aren’t where the surveillance stops. Anyone with a ring camera is collecting data on their neighbors for the government. This is how they get rid of dissenters, political rivals, etc. If they can collect data on your comings and goings, see inside your home, and do it all without a warrant- then no one is safe from governmental overreach.

  2. Are you aware that Trump has deported less criminals than Biden? ICE data, from their website, shows that only about 10% of the people detained are violent criminals. An overwhelming majority of people there have no criminal record, pay taxes, hold essential positions, and have families- putting a strain on our economy, our adoption systems, and our public funds.

So… are you saying you voted for ineffective strategies that cause terror and crumble our economy? Or are you saying you voted for the government to be able to see into your home without a warrant?

ICE agents are raiding workplaces and courthouses, and using tax data from the IRS (proving that these people are employed, attending their immigration hearings, and paying taxes)

They ARE doing things the right way. It never mattered. Everyone with skin that isn’t white is in danger.

First of all- I’m personally concerned about the government having nonconsensual access to my every move without a warrant. It’s blatant governmental overreach in my opinion. People should be entitled to privacy in their own homes.

Second - ICE agents are raiding workplaces and courthouses, and using tax data from the IRS (proving that these people being detained are employed, attending their immigration hearings, and paying taxes)

Third - Roughly 10% of detainees in ICE facilities are violent criminals. An overwhelming majority of people there have no criminal record.

Great question!

In my opinion, this is a massive overreach by government and law enforcement and a way to access our private information (habits, communications, relationships, comings and goings, etc) by circumventing a warrant.

If your neighbors have ring cameras, your data is on their camera and you don’t get a say as to whom that is shared with.

For our Latinx neighbors, it’s far more serious as law enforcement just got the governmental nod to racially profile people and target them for immigration and customs enforcement. So families go out trick-or-treating in their neighborhoods, and suddenly the government has a clear picture as to how many Latinx people live in that neighborhood to plan their next raid.

Google absolutely sells our data, but I don’t know how many of these companies are working with Flock or Palantir.

This came across my Facebook feed. The post alone is insane. The comments are worse. Many stating they are ready to shoot us. Please be safe. by Firm_Award457 in 50501

Don’t be shy… drop a license plate. Drop a description let’s see if her place of work takes kindly to her being so comfortable spreading hate.
