So, why did I start this thread? I'm not sure.
The first was, perhaps, because we get involved in running the cables, etc.
The second is that some of us have employees, and all the concerns that come with that.
I suppose the real reason is a bit less obvious. It's too easy to get cynical - thank you, Tesla- but that's not much of an answer.
Rather, I think it harps back to one of the hardest principles of troubleshooting: Check your assumptions!
The results of these cameras challenge many of the things we 'know' about folks. Far too often it is turning out that the 'respectable' folks are the ones making life hell for everyone.
We learn this in business. Think about two businesses: brothels and churches. Which is respectable? Well, there are plenty of threads in the business section where the trials of doing church work are detailed.
There are plenty of clever arguments against the 'morality' of surveillance cameras. Sort of like the 'legal drug' crusaders, I suspect that we're again being deceived by the scoundrels - abetted by useful idiots.
In code circles, we've seen far too many recent changes that either cater to one party's pocketbook, or that assume a legal structure quite alien to this country. Somehow these factors are left out of the discussions.
So, whatever the situation ... check your assumptions.
