Saturday 15th 41F, heavy overcast, rain and wind. Another storm is coming tomorrow. I dressed for rain but it stayed resolutely dry. Though breezy again. Four Skylark-like birds were hovering and chasing each other wildly over a roadside field. No song, so not really a confirmed first sighting for this year. Heavy shopping in the car. At least six, everyday items with no stock.
A Danish solar farm has been vandalized by a fuckwit. Or the plural thereof. Lots of glass panels broken. The owner had requested permission to be allowed security cameras but was turned down on the grounds of public privacy. Fuckwits 1 Public Privacy 0.
The hypocrisy is absolutely mind blowing. Appliances with multiple cameras and microphones, are spying on vast numbers of people in their most intimate surroundings. Including their children's bedrooms and bathrooms. But you can't have security cameras to protect private or public property? Hundreds more spying apps are taken down almost every day according to the media. The vast, global, tax-free, advertising companies always claim complete ignorance until the internal emails are leaked.
Owners of private security cameras must ensure they don't cover public spaces in case criminals are identifiable. Yet, as soon as there is a terrorist scare, the police and security forces canvas local, security camera owners. On the vague chance of their having captured useful information.
Photographing or filming a criminal in the act of a crime is illegal. Particularly if you share the video or images online. Even if you are the victim! But you can give the police a verbal description right down to the last possible detail: e.g."He was covered in my blood!" The victim is always guilty! Off with her head! Meanwhile the criminal is given another free pass of the 20+ they have already been given. Total hypocrisy!
