CCTV operator here. One thing people misunderstand is that cameras don't tell a story, they corroborate a narrative. In other words the footage is often open to multiple interpretations, not just one side of the story. (We've seen this play out with the recent ICE shootings) One big difference between CCTV and these "smart lasers" is that CCTV is retroactive; Meanwhile this system appears to aim to *prevent* crimes. Anyone who has seen the movie Minority Report, knows where I'm going with this. > "It is better that ten guilty persons escape than that one innocent suffer." - William Blackstone ~1760 Basically this system, if not transparent, could easily be used to falsely accuse and oppress people. Not just men either. I'm sure Jim Crow would have installed lasers on the water fountains if they had them.
