That's not the sort of camera involved in this story. In this case, the video is from pole-mounted surveillance platforms rather than equipment carried by the cops on their person or in their car. I assume that those platforms upload their video in real time.
I grew up on with both of those things (I was about 12 when Star Wars came out), but don't bother with the new Star Wars movies (mostly b/c Abrams) and became utterly bored with the comic book movies a few years back.
It's not really that hard to boycott Disney. I do a pretty decent job of it. I'm sure there's one or two things that fly under the radar, but for the most part I have little problem.
I think this misses the mark a bit for two reasons. First, the line between "hardware" and "software" has been so fuzzy for so long that pretty much all hardware engineers are also software engineers -- they're just specialist software engineers.
Second, the general population of software engineers doesn't do much better when it comes to software security. Software security all by itself is a specialty.
What needs to be done is something that would help resolve this problem altogether: the establishment of best practices that engineers are expected to follow to minimize security problems.
Yes, as PRMan said, "suspicious people". When you get to decide what counts as "suspicious", it's generally going to boil down to "people you don't like".
I think this is a new battle in a rather old war. There was a cease-fire in that war for a few years so people forgot, but I'm hearing nothing, on any side of the issue, that I didn't hear during the last crypowar.
And before the last cryptowar, nearly identical issues and arguments were had over the telephone, the telegraph, the mail system, etc. etc. etc.
I honestly believe that a largely irrelevant cultural battle between the "right" and the "left" is intentionally perpetuated in order to distract us all from the political divisions that actually matter.
Apple is being asked to disable the security feature that prevents brute-forcing the PIN. Thus, the government is asking Apple to circumvent a security system. That's a back door.
The strength of the PIN (I'm not sure what makes some PINs stronger than others, aside perhaps from how often people choose them) is irrelevant here. If the Feds get what they want, they can easily try all possible PINs.
A number of people (generally speaking they come from the traditional copyright legacy industries) simply try to whitewash this whole thing and argue that simply having the possibility of distributing is distribution itself.
I understand why they would think that this makes sense. These are the same people, after all, who honestly seem to think that losing potential profit is the same thing as losing profit.
Their worldview is dangerously distorted, but consistently so.
It is approximately a treaty. The good thing about its status, though, is that Constitutionally speaking, it's much easier to walk away from than a real treaty.
"Expressiveness" is defined by the courts well enough that you can intentionally engage in it. For example, if you overtly declared that you were recording as an act of civil disobedience, you've solidly put your actions in the "expressive" category.
