Guys, here&#x27;s a wild idea: let&#x27;s have more cameras owned by individuals which will be used to track specifically politicians and law enforcement officials. Use facial recognition and gait analysis to identify them and analyze their mood,associations,behaviors,etc... Use high DPI long range cams where possible. Ask people to share their ring,etc...<p>I just don&#x27;t know how to scare society enough. Maybe use this techs explicitly against specific demographics. Abuse it against democrats and republicans. Track and publish analysis of every trump supporter, bernie sanders supporter,minorities, I don&#x27;t know just hit everyones sensitive sweet spots to show them &quot;we can do this legally!!&quot; Because the people that will profit from this will certainly not make their practice public enough to be visible by lawmakers and society at large.<p>The tech is moving magnitudes faster than the law.<p>Essentially use it against them in a very hostile way to force them to take this seriously.

I gave a talk on &quot;Deep Neural Networks for Video Applications&quot; at the GDG DevFest conference last weekend [1]. It&#x27;s crazy how powerful computer vision is and how relatively easy it is to apply to video streams. It&#x27;s not perfect but you can absolutely replace a human watching video in most situations &#x2F; use cases, for example:<p>* identifying vehicles &amp; reading license plates * identifying people and tracking them across cameras * identifying products on the back of trucks * counting people in queues or getting in&#x2F;out of vehicles &#x2F; stores * detecting suspicious activity &#x2F; shoplifting<p>Generally you don&#x27;t even need to completely eliminate humans watching footage, you can just present the human with cases detected by the object and let the human decide whether it&#x27;s a true positive &#x2F; what to do.<p>It&#x27;s scary but useful technology because there&#x27;s no way humans can watch all the footage being produced by a billion cameras...<p>[1] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;speakerdeck.com&#x2F;alxcnwy&#x2F;gdg-devfest-2019-deep-neural-networks-for-video-applications" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;speakerdeck.com&#x2F;alxcnwy&#x2F;gdg-devfest-2019-deep-neural...</a>

On the subject of tracking, does anybody know of any current -on-the-market- security cameras that also do passive air &#x2F; radio sniffing on things like WiFi and Bluetooth?<p>Imagine an appliance brick and mortar shop that gives users free WiFi. In the middle of the night, masked intruders burgle the place and steal $50,000 worth of goods. In addition to logging the (fairly useless) footage of masked people stealing stuff in the dark, the system also recorded some Bluetooth &#x2F; WiFi beacons. If sufficient &quot;fingerprinting&quot; information can be collected from this data, it could become possible to look backwards for clues to who these users were in earlier collected data (say for example, when the assailants had previously scouted the store during the daytime making a plan).

I&#x27;ve come to accept the notion of no privacy in public spaces, as long as individuals retain the right to surveil everything too, and to publicly release our videos about police misbehavior and everything else we catch on camera.<p>The balance of surveillance power between government, corporations, and the public must be maintained.

So I’ve had this (perhaps naive and not novel?) idea for a while and am curious what people think. What if it were required by law that all surveillance video is “anonymized” in real-time via computer vision software? In other words, use an image segmentation model like Mask R-CNN to cut out or blur each person appearing in frame. Violent&#x2F;criminal behavior can still be detected in real-time either via software or by human operators (you don’t need to see someone’s face or skin color to determine if they’re e.g. committing a violent act).<p>If a crime is committed and the video is needed as evidence or for identifying the person(s), then the archived video can be “unmasked” via court order or other process. There is some precedent for this, relating to when US citizens incidentally appear in foreign phone calls collected by intelligence agencies (see: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.m.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Unmasking_by_U.S._intelligence_agencies" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.m.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Unmasking_by_U.S._intelligen...</a>).<p>This way, there is a reasonable level of privacy preservation (=anxiety reduction) for people innocently going about their lives. It also limits opportunities for abuse, like stalking and discrimination. The effectiveness of surveillance systems as a crime deterrent and source of evidence is still maintained under this policy. That is, it’s basically a Pareto improvement—no one is made worse off, while many are better off.

I think people&#x27;s freedoms and rights are going to live on through social and legal regulation, not banning or countering surveillance technology itself.<p>E.g. with an existing technology known as firearms, it&#x27;s not socially &#x27;OK&#x27; or legal to just go up and randomly shoot someone with such technology, but technically you could do it, if you really wanted. There&#x27;s consequences to it though.<p>So we need consequences for violating people&#x27;s privacy or using their information in a way that is abusive or unfair to their human rights.<p>Radical transparency of disclosure such as what insurance companies know about you that they feed into their business will have to be legally mandated. (How about an open-source algorithm too?) We will need new frameworks by which data collected on you and used against you MUST be disclosed, because otherwise it could be total abuse and fake. We know China is already in that territory.<p>The world of deepfakes is going to make &#x27;deniability&#x27; a major opposing force of surveillance as well.<p>We have an interesting future ahead of us.

I&#x27;m actually OK with this future. I think it&#x27;s inevitable. But what to me is the choice of whether the cameras watch everyone, or just certain classes of someone.<p>There was a scifi novel many years ago, forget the name, where everyone&#x27;s glasses were constantly live feeds. The author posited that crime went down, but also transparency amongst the powerful&#x2F;elite climbed as well.

&gt; He was holding a small device in his hand, the size and shape of a lollipop.<p>&quot;This is a video camera, and this is the precise model that&#x27;s getting this incredible image quality. Image quality that holds up to this kind of magnification. So that&#x27;s the first great thing. We can now get high-def-quality resolution in a camera the size of a thumb.&quot; ...<p>&quot;But for now, let&#x27;s go back to the places in the world where we most need transparency and so rarely have it. Here&#x27;s a medley of locations around the world where we&#x27;ve placed cameras. Now imagine the impact these cameras would have had in the past, and will have in the future, if similar events transpire. Here&#x27;s fifty cameras in Tiananmen Square.&quot; ...<p>&quot;There needs to be accountability. Tyrants can no longer hide. There needs to be, and will be, documentation and accountability, and we need to bear witness.&quot; ...<p>ALL THAT HAPPENS MUST BE KNOWN<p>-From &quot;The Circle&quot; by David Eggers

Great news for me! here in NZ art performance of any kind is protected and may not be recorded without an appropriate license.<p>I&#x27;ve publicly declared the rest of my life to be &quot;performance art&quot; and look forward to a continuing stream of license income from people who have illegally recorded my performance without permission .....

Will it look like this?<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;upload.wikimedia.org&#x2F;wikipedia&#x2F;commons&#x2F;c&#x2F;c5&#x2F;Building_covered_in_eyes_in_Barcelona%2C_Spain.jpg" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;upload.wikimedia.org&#x2F;wikipedia&#x2F;commons&#x2F;c&#x2F;c5&#x2F;Building...</a>

So the number of cameras will increase 30% by the end of 2021, the rate of population growth is 1.08%. if we can keep this up it won&#x27;t be long before we have as many cameras as people, however, and here&#x27;s the kicker, since the cameras are tied to locations and not to people it means that not every person will be under constant surveillance!<p>Surely some intrepid politician will see how unsustainable and just plain wasteful such a situation is and, in cooperation with some tech company, push for the development of some sort of mobile monitoring solution tied to every human being.

Damn, when I read 1984 I was like what a sweet tech setup Winston has in his pad. What a modern city!<p>So blessed to be living in an era of unimpeded technology deployed for our benefit.

Who will interpret the 9 trillion hours of resulting video then? Every person in the world would have to spending three work shifts a week watching and evaluating it.

It&#x27;s inevitable that in 20 years every living person on this planet will have it&#x27;s location tracked in real-time.<p>All kinds of crime will become impossible. Today the police doesn&#x27;t have resources to spend on stolen packages, bikes or small time muggings.<p>But with permanent tracking and AI it will be trivial to backtrack any interaction.<p>And it will be impossible to disable the tracking. Even if you don&#x27;t have any tracking on you, unless you are literally invisible you&#x27;ll be tracked through millions of other peoples cameras each day.<p>Something like Google Street View, but in real time will also exist.
