Not all cameras have security vulnerabilities. Assuming it's a matter of "smarts" is ridiculous. Plain old traffic cameras that solely detect speeding, especially those installed without additional "smart" features like Flock's, rarely have breaches, because they are by their very nature quite simple systems.
I'm not saying it's impossible, or that cases don't exist, but I've seen far more harm come from actual, preventable traffic deaths than I've seen from hacked speeding cameras. I've seen zero instances of that being used to cause harm, thus far.
I am not. That is why I am clearly advocating solely for systems with a design that reduces the chances of remote access, can't engage in mass surveillance, and only send data on those actively speeding, while never transmitting anything about literally everybody else. Have you even read my comments?
You clearly don't get my points, I'm sorry if I'm somehow not explaining them clearly enough, but fine, I'm done. You win, or whatever. Good job.
All cameras have security vulnerabilities. The vulnerabilities are the idiots installing them, how do i know? It's literally my job.
You can keep on acting all high and mighty thinking that speeding cameras only detect speed, totally never get hacked, and definitely could never be used to track someone or abused in other ways.
Youre just wrong, an thats really all there is to it. You have WAY to much faith in the people putting up speeding cameras. They don't give a shit whether or not it's secure, it doesn't make money to care that it's secure.
I don't know why you insist on living in fantasy island where things never go wrong, people never gain access to cameras, and the people installing them are using state of the art top notch never been made before secure camera.
