I’m baffled that with all the streetcameras in Antwerp, they still depend on the imagery of others.
Nice to see them revert to nazi era antics!
Lol, no.
I’m no snitch.
I’m no fan of fireworks but this just feels wrong on many levels.
So are citizens encouraged to start spying on each other? What do we need to report next: people who smoke cannabis; people parking in the handicapped spot or not buying a parking ticket; jailwalking; cyclists without lights; cars not respecting the priority or lights; beggars on the street…?
Is the police too incompetent to handle this themselves?
So they’re shoving an increasing number of public cameras through our throats and there’s still debate over whether we’re allowed to film police(wo)men (whereas they get to wear bodycams and decide when they use them) but we should film and report each other?
