A new neighbor moved in and is really advocating for them, but I think most people in the HOA are split. It’s come up after some recent thefts after someone left a garage door open. I’m thinking of organizing my arguments like this:

  1. Even with a camera capturing a thief’s face, police are unlikely to actually catch the person or retreive the stolen property.
  2. Invasion of personal privacy, I don’t like being tracked and my whereabouts being monitored
  3. Surrendering biometric data without my consent
  4. Police / ICE using the data without permission to harass our residents

How does this sound? It’s so exhausting fighting against this. Does anyone have any other good points or articles that can provide support? Many thanks in advance

    How is the neighbor advocating for them? Like, are they making a rational case, or is it just vibes? I’m curious what problems they think they’re solving and how these cameras would solve them.

      They’ve had property stolen, and I’m pretty sure they don’t trust the rest of the residents of the HOA
