My small town with absolutely minimal crime put up AI surveillance cameras.
Tonight is the second town council meeting about them. The last one was intense afaik.
I think I'm gonna go. Any advice?
...
Go speak at the podium.
"Good evening, Council.
I want to commend you on your commitment to public safety... truly inspiring. The proposed AI surveillance initiative for our neighborhoods is a bold step toward keeping everyone secure.
That said, I can’t help but feel it doesn’t go quite far enough.
Given how passionate, or some might say very upset, many residents are about your recent decisions, I worry about your personal safety. It seems only logical, then, that we extend these surveillance measures to the places you’re most vulnerable: your own homes.
Of course, I understand there could be concerns about privacy. But if constant monitoring is a reasonable tradeoff for safety when applied to the public, I’m sure it’s just as reasonable when applied to those making the decisions.
After all, if there’s nothing to hide, there’s nothing to fear.
Thank you for your time"
