If I was a pretty girl that gets stared at I think I'd want to record the ones doing the staring
People generally commit less crime if they think they're on camera
If they do commit a crime, at least there would be video evidence
Or if they just want to be creepy, I'd send those stares to their wife
Considering motivated perverts would use hidden cameras, as opposed to cameras literally on their face, I think the asymmetry here is in favor of recording the perverts rather than vice versa
- soraminazuki 1mo agoThere's plenty of evidence to the contrary, considering that's the same old argument that NRA has been making for our entire lives.
- alickz 1mo agoI think there's a difference between brandishing a weapon and brandishing a recording device Unlike the sword, the camera itself does not incite deeds of violence My understanding at least is that cameras (or even signs) reducing/preventing crime by _some_ amount has been independently corroborated across multiple studies
- soraminazuki 1mo agoMaybe I lost too much faith in society. But in a world where everyone is recording each other, I think people who are able to act with impunity wins, not necessarily those with higher moral standards.
