My hoa has this. Wish I knew before I moved in. My car got vandalized, and the offender was their friend. They decided to protect him and not give out the recording. Also sent out email with disclaimer: cameras are not for our safety or security. What are they for then?!?! Stalking us?!?

That's an instant "sue and subpoena the footage"

Sue who? I don't know the guy. And I have no proof. All i have is a bad photo of him near my car.

You don't sue the guy, you sue the hoa and/or the person who told you they weren't going to give you evidence.

The ones who have the recording, genius

Ha, good luck with that. Suing hoa is like shooting yourself in the foot. Gotta sell and move out before doing that, and by now they already deleted the recording. So it will lead nowhere. Nothing i can prove.

At that point, get into amateur radio and put a tower up. They legally can't stop you

Start doing crimes. When they use the cameras you show them the email about how cameras aren't for safety.

Youll go down, but itll feel like justice.

Automated License Plate Readers (ALPRs) are AI-powered cameras that capture and analyze images of all passing vehicles, storing details like your car’s location, date, and time. They also capture your car’s make, model, color, and identifying features such as dents, roof racks, and bumper stickers, often turning these into searchable data points. These cameras collect data on millions of vehicles—regardless of whether the driver is suspected of a crime. While these systems can be useful for tracking stolen cars or wanted individuals, they are mostly used to track the movements of innocent people.
