A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Technically, "automatically" would mean it gets sent all the time, while "without consent" would mean it might've got sent on request, just without consent.
Fair enough. In both cases, it's without the camera "owner" consenting, and that's the main problem.
"Automatically" would be a perfectly reasonable word choice if a request from the police is granted without interaction. In all honesty even if a human has to send it, if the process doesn't allow them any kind of autonomy or authority to decline the request, that probably qualifies, too.
Hm, I guess you're right. That's an interesting reflection on the concept of "automation".
I think automated means "no human". I don't think automatic necessarily does, especially if humans don't have agency.
