Insane inspired or illegal

[midgebabe]

So I see rape, sexual assault and domestic violence and a pretty big problem. And it doesn't go away because it's is broadly tolerated rather than successfully prosecuted against. And that is because it usually boils down to one persons word against another. And often the smooth talking villain sounds more rational and self controlled than the disturbed victim.

SO, although I hate this idea because of the privacy implications, but no one stopped google glass, so why don't we have an app that records everything on a rolling basis, uploading to authorities when suitably triggered, deleting after 48 hrs otherwise? Alexa listens all the time, why can't we make use of that capability to gather evidence?

The authorities would have a pay a mega fortune to the phone companies for that sort of data.
More than the Cross rail 2.

I can’t think of anything worse than being monitored all the time.

Terrible idea.

People would protest against it, because it is a huge invasion of privacy.

All three!

Those who post on the relationship board who suspect their partner is cheating are given loads of advice on how to put traces on their social media.

Alexa and other similar products that may be cheaper or dearer can certainly be set to record.

It might be held up in court. But I suspect there would have to be a dead body for this to be the case.

YEt goggle glass is continuing which is equally a privacy invasion, with no restrictions on what happens to the data so recorded? I only want to keep the data associated with a crime. I was thinking...perhaps wrongly...that preventing domestic violence might be worth the privacy invasion in some cases?

Ok I am just so annoyed about the way peoples lives are devastated and how some women live in fear for their lives because no justice can be provided and I want to find a solution. I will keep thinking.

I was working on Cross Rail in the early 90s. It was already a decade old by this time. Pat

I can't see any of those solutions stopping a man wanting to kill his wife and/or his children by her.

I don’t think it would be. I don’t think you can justify stopping one awful thing by doing something else that’s awful.

So like a car dashcam, but for your entire life?

I think Op meant they would aid prosecution.

3 3 "The Entire History of You" Brian Welsh Jesse Armstrong 18 December 2011 0.87
People have implanted a "grain" behind their ear, which allows them to record everything they see and hear. Using a remote, a user can perform a "re-do", playing back their memories directly to their eye or to a video monitor. At a dinner party, Liam is suspicious of his wife Ffion's behaviour towards a man named Jonas. Returning home, Ffion admits that she used to be in a relationship with him. The next morning, Liam drunkenly heads to Jonas' house and forces him to delete every memory of sexual intercourse he had with Ffion. In the memories appearing on the monitor, Liam notices one from the time when he and Ffion were already in a relationship. Liam, afraid that he might not be the biological father of his child, returns home and demands that Ffion show him the re-do of that specific sexual encounter, in order to prove that they had used a condom. The re-do verifies that the two of them had unprotected sex. Sometime later, having been left alone in his house, Liam goes to the bathroom and uses a razor blade to cut out the grain from behind his ear.

The authorities wouldn't be allowed to do this but there's nothing stopping you recording yourself. You can put cameras in your house, carry a go pro type device around with you or whatever. How much a person chooses to be recorded is up to that person.

Some Police wear body cameras. They’re recording all the time but recording over the old recordings until they press a button which then keeps the recording from xxx minutes ago onwards. I met a Police Officer in the lift at work and asked him about it. I can’t remember how many minutes!

I suppose vulnerable people could wear something similar. If they chose too. It’s very obvious when Police wear them, presumably to get around any legal restrictions on covertly filming.
