No, I could vandalise them easy enough, I don't because I'm not a criminal who wants to damage my neighbours things, not because it's a camera.

Of course you could vandalize them easily enough... and be seen doing so from multiple angles: ideally leading to your prosecution and imprisonment or possibly direct kinetic response from their owners.

The legal system tends to react even more negatively to those directly attempting to undermine enforcement efforts - such as vandalizing cameras. You're not just doing "bad," you're constructively preventing evidence of your misdeeds from being gathered.

You know, I think you may be onto something.

Perhaps we all should just live in a massive prison. The cameras should be on us 24/7. Society is nothing without hard rules, by just rulers. Ideally, kinetic enforcement applied for any misdeeds, large or small.

My right to place cameras on my private property absolutely trumps your desire to not be seen or recorded (or whatever your specific grievance is) in the United States.

This isn't about "hard rules" - make laws prohibiting government use of privately-obtained data if you like - but vandalizing or prohibiting a privately-owned Ring camera is absolutely a matter of my rights being abridged.

Privacy must be created - and is quite expensive.

No, I think you're misunderstanding. The only way to be sure that we are free of crime would be to record everything, inside and outside the home. It's fair because not only is your home being recorded 24/7; mine is too! Let's turn those ring cameras inward -- into the house! I mean the fact that I'm even contemplating touching your ring cameras, well that's a bit of a crime in and of itself, isn't it?

> and be seen doing so from multiple angles

No, again that's easy enough to avoid.

But you're being obtuse on purpose (and ignoring the actual content of my very short comments) obviously because you want an argument, and this is waste of my time. Have a great life :)

> No, again that's easy enough to avoid.

It's amusing that circumvention is your go-to: I watch my cameras almost every moment I'm awake, vandalizing a $1k+ item (a felony in my state) would be met with immediate armed response.

Stay safe out there!
