A local Hamilton man has been ordered by the city to take down his security cameras that he has on the outside of his house, despite his claim that his footage has been useful in crime investigations.

Dan Myles says he has 10 security cameras outside his home on MacNab Street North in downtown Hamilton, and he says he needs them.

Laws like this are enforced selectively, by design. If they were serious about privacy, they’d be issuing citations to everybody with a ring doorbell. Not just because the videos always face public areas, but because the recordings are stored insecurely on US datacentres.

if they cared about that, then they wouldnt be leaving doors wide open to citizen private data, specifically for the US government, in the strong borders act. bill C2.

it demands ISPs hold internet search history for 6 years, gives access to your data to police and government agencies, without warrant. and also has a little section where they essentially give massive access of your digital fingerprint to the united states government, who will likely use private corps like palantir to profile you for god knows what. but likely for some thought crime, minority report shit but for anyone not white, christian, and conservative.
