Anyone have any evidence of the security cameras doing this? I can't find any, but I don't have much time to dig.
There's security cameras where have speakers to state "Hi, you're being recorded." due to the fact that if a private property wishes to record the public who enter, they must be given notice for consent in my state, as it's a two party consent system. Being on the property with the notice is considered consent.
I don't see why they couldn't make systems that state "You're being watched, do not loiter."
It was a disingenuous post. They compared a CVS security camera to mainland China. This is a leading question and shouldn't be posted by a journalist. She is leading the reader into thinking this is a question of US surveillance vs CCP surveillance, but it isn't. It's just some shitty corporate choice.
That, and the corporation cannot compel you not to "loiter" on the sidewalk in what is clearly a downtown area, which is therefore not their property and is a public right-of-way. Best they can do is chuck you out the front doors.
