First they sell the fear, then they sell the "solution". Poor on poor crime is down to record lows. What's up is government crime on poors, that has skyrocketed.

All these cameras do for the people who paid for them is provide a memento of the thing being stolen from the front yard. If you think you're going to show the video to a cop, and they're going to say, "Hey! I know that guy!", and then run off and retrieve your truck that's too big to fit in your garage, you are sorely mistaken.

Also, if you install these things inside your house, you can bet dollars to donuts that someone is gooning to your antics. I mean, besides your dad.

I was gonna make a joke how confusing it must be to see a guy appear between houses and seemingly never go home.

But then I realized I have a smart phone that listens to everything I say and tracks where I am.

The spread of 5G, Data Centers and fiber optic connections directly to home will make everything move faster for Big Bro! The homes in the true 1st World countries received fiber optic connections long ago, while the US continues to fail.

If you really need to see who knocking, just put a camera at a high enough point not to scan past the porch
