Is it safe to commit a crime in Dubai?

[yaris-me]

Apparently not. Cameras are everywhere. Govt is recording you.

Its really very different type question.Never faced such an interesting question before.Why you want to commit a crime in Dubai.

[silver_echo]

from what i hear london is the same way...

You're on camera in a lot of places in the US as well. Probably more than you realize.

Israel thought they could. The question did not refer to me. :redface:

[nemelek]

The 500,000 sqft warehouse I work at has about 90% camera coverage. Not really used until an accident or theft investigation.

[Yaris Hilton]

Pretty much everywhere you go around places like hospitals, department stores, malls, convenience stores, gas stations, government buildings, toll booths, intersections with red light cameras, etc., you're being recorded. Nobody's looking at it most of the time, but they can go back and pull up the video from times of interest whenever a question arises. And now there are countless random webcams that show passersby. That person that looks like they're texting on their cell phone may actually be videoing you to post your silliness on YouTube. Think "People of Wal-Mart."

They have cameras everywhere; the government in the US can watch you just as easy as you can watch people walk down your street. Anyone who think Google are the only ones who can zoom in on you to street level is delusional lol

[MadMax]

That's true, they're watching you right now! Quit picking your nose! :eek:

[JBougie]

But it tastes good ........

[JBougie]

jk. lol ish that's gross lol

[why?]

street level is nothing. Military hardware can look into your window and read over your shoulder.

[yarisugi]

My image of you just shattered to pieces. :laugh:

Google can street view to my house, and see my brother's 85 mustang he sold 5 years ago.

Is there a link to this technology? I haven't seen a satellite photo where you could even read license plates on a car in the open, and come to think of it, I don't think I've seen one where you could even point out the make/model. I'd also hope that if they had satellites like that, there would be slightly less civilian deaths going on in iraq and afghanistan.

[JBougie]

The military has that technology. It's for government use only - good luck ever finding a link to that. You can find information about it; I know it's out there - we are learning about (non top-secret, or course...) types of surveillance in class this semester. Trust me, they can see you. I promise. I'll try to dig up a link to some of the stuff, or I can try and scan/upload out of my class materials.

Satellite technology has nothing to do with deaths in Iraq and Afghanistan; the satellites aren't the ones fighting.

Here is the street-view of the house I grew up in (my parents just sold it a few years back :frown:) courtesy of Google maps ..... you know if Google can get that close, the government has to be able to get a hell of a lot closer :laugh:

That picture was taken by a dude in a camera van, driving on the street. It was probably taken years ago and is no where near "surveillance"

My brother works for northrup grumman looking at data from missile detection satellites(with secret clearance). My friend polishes mirrors for raytheon... Enemy of the state isn't real... lol

If satellites could "look in your window" they would see civilians in the buildings they are bombing, not a military barracks, and hopefully not bomb that building(but that's obviously not the case). I don't want to argue politics, I'm just saying...

The military *might* be able to see your house, and *might* even be able to track a specific car. BUT the cost is so prohibitive they don't even bother. Not to mention, they couldn't track everyone(I doubt they could even do 1000 people simultaneously)...

Obviously the government has better things to do than see if you're reading the newspaper or looking at porn on your computer. That technology I would hope would only be used for a security/safety reason.

[slothman86]

I have heard about tech that..."hides" a camera in a computer monitor...that was a couple years ago tho...

[Yaris Hilton]

Most laptops and some monitors have a camera in them already. They can be turned on remotely.

We've all seen those GM car ads touting OnStar. That can all be accessed remotely if desired.

Your cell phone can be accessed remotely and used as a listening device, with the proper software installed. Cell phone spy software's fairly popular with people like crazy jealous boyfriends/husbands, suspicious wives, etc.
