    If you think they’ll use it to find the package thief, you’re fooling yourself.

    All these cameras do is give you a memento of the theft or other event. They do nothing to stop crime, and cops DGAF about looking at your video:

    “Yep, that’s a video of a guy stealing your truck from your driveway. Prolly should’a put it in the garage.”

      When my car was stolen the police and the county toll road authority both confirmed that neither would bother co-ordinating when my toll tag in that car registered on the toll road sensors.

      This isn’t necessarily true. Last year my wife was kidnapped from our home. Would have had no lead or direction if it weren’t for my neighbor’s security camera picking up the perpetrator’s truck coming down the driveway and back up it after. That was the only thing that helped me figure out what the fuck happened and for law enforcement to get her back (after a ridiculous amount of community pressure that night). That being said, fuck Ring and the surveillance state. Run your own private cams.
