Do you think that in the future, body-cameras on people will become as common as dash-cameras on cars? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

I mean, people use dash-cams protect themselves in case of a car crash, so do you think people in the future would also use body-cams protect themselves in case of being involved in a fight?

I feel the more likely scenario is for public surveillance to reach a point where everyone outside their home (or near a window) is being recorded from multiple sources.

It's already the case in neighborhoods and apartment/townhome complexes, Amazon's Ring. Can't walk down the street without being recorded on both sides by at least 50% of front doors / driveways. Amazon who was recently caught allowing employees to view hundreds of women's home camera feeds (even indoor cameras, since the average person doesn't fully consider how much a single company can spy on you when there's a camera/microphone reporting directly to their servers).

Very true, I forgot about the doorbell cameras! Neighbors on FB will often post their camera footage when a "suspicious" (read: black or young) person drives by

Sooner or later, it'll be borderline impossible to talk a stroll without being captured on a video somewhere. I wonder how disguises/masks might evolve to counteract. And if any scene occurs, you'd better bet there'll be at least one phone camera pointed at it.

Look up "Justice Caps" and "Hacker Hoodie". Infrared anti-camera apparel
