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:
- Even with a camera capturing a thief’s face, police are unlikely to actually catch the person or retreive the stolen property.
- Invasion of personal privacy, I don’t like being tracked and my whereabouts being monitored
- Surrendering biometric data without my consent
- 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
Maybe start asking for details about who will have access to them, will they be monitored, how long will footage be kept, etc. I bet most folks have a neighbor that they don’t want having access.
And once the people real they don’t want Karen the HOE president having full access, it means you’ll have to pay a security firm. Hammer them on the costs for this vs having individuals set up their own security on their properties.
