The supplier, 30Seconds Group, says the cameras allow them to track “occupant engagement” from residents who are a “captive audience” as they wait for lifts to their apartments.
JFC, how do these people sleep with themselves at night.
Now I'm not saying that hammers exist for a reason...
The audacity of that screen telling you how you are allowed to use your balcony. Oh sure, it's your balcony, but keep nothing on it and don't hang out laundry on it..
Can't wait for them to start pairing digital billboards with license plate cameras so you get personalized ai generated ads with your dead grandma in them on your way to work.
This is the time to bring out a mask and start vandalizing.
Might be difficult in the UK though, with so much camera's around. I've always wondered how feasible would it be, assuming you get lucky and don't get caught during the act, to make sure that you can't be found by cameras alone.
A good mask, desposable clothes, hat to hide your hair, and make sure to change somewhere with multiple entrances into a larger area without cameras? In this hypothtical scenario, I guess the most difficult thing would be to have a place where to change without it being connectable to you, i.e not a tunnel where they can check people entering and leaving and look for who's only leaving.
It would have to be a pretty large area that's populated and traversed by a lot of people, has as much entrances and exits as possible but also has places where you can discreetly change. I'm guessing something like a park, or a forest. Maybe a train, assuming it doesn't have cameras on board. If it's long distance/lot of stops, enumerating people who get in and out would be extremely tedious, plus it does have a place to discretely change. Bonus points for having a burner phone with you the whole time, that you then leave on the train/throw out at a random stop.
A in-depth enough investigation could probably track you down, but the more entrances and exits/people traveling through, the higher chance an investigation into a minor vandalism would give up. But making it work for some more serious act, where a very in-depth investigation will take place, will probbly be almost impossible. But that's not what I'm interrested in anyway.
I'm sure there are anarchist zines about this kind of thing, it looks like it might be usefull pretty soon.
