# Tiny Bytes: Multi-Shot **Published by:** [ldnovak](https://paragraph.com/@ldnovak/) **Published on:** 2022-07-23 **URL:** https://paragraph.com/@ldnovak/tiny-bytes-multi-shot ## Content Hi, Did not preemptively write something so I’m going to try something new and quick. I’m going to pick a topic and write down quick thoughts.San Fransisco SurveillanceIt still bothers me how police are using self driving cars to monitor people. I don’t like how the police want to use people’s doorbells to spy. -- That idea of monitoring people is interesting. Spying is correct but sounds exaggerated. Like it’s a movie. Surveilling is exact but too wordy of a word. Watching is also correct but too benign. As if this behavior both harmless and something to be expected as people. (this idea of expected surveillance/monitoring I think is related to the root of what irks me). Monitoring is just right. It’s not necessarily malicious but teases the idea of harm. I don’t like being monitored but also understand it’s necessity. I don’t want to be monitored as I cook dinner; I want that freedom. I understand that who get’s access to nukes should be monitored. I want to monitor my heart rate as I sleep. I don’t want Amazon monitoring my heart rate as I sleep. I wonder if we rephrase our discussion on privacy and surveilling if we can uncover new ways as looking at old problems. Some areas or purchases require monitoring to be safe. We need cameras to keep people safe.
