A place where you can rant to your heart's content.
Rules :
- Follow all of Lemmy code of conduct.
- Be respectful to others, even if they're the subject of your rant. Realize that you can be angry at someone without denigrating them.
- Keep it on Topic. Memes about ranting are allowed for now, but will be banned if they start to become more prevalent than actual rants.

Any video surveillance of public property should be freely available to the public, including cameras operated by public servants while operating on public property.
Wasn't there a band in the UK that used a law that allowed them to request footage of themselves from surveillance to make a music video?
I suppose the nuance I did not elaborate on is the proliferation of private surveillance that is shared with cops. I vaguely recall something about Amazon doing a backroom deal to give the gov unwarranted access to private Amazon Ring cams, which is not something the general public can access.
In the context of my dream law, police failing to use their Ring access to protect victims would have to lead to loss of access to the cams.
