I can see why people in China and Russia have dash cams when you have people throwing themselves on your hood to try to say you ran them over.

I'm thinking about putting a CCTV camera in my bedroom just to prove no bargirls have been in there with me. It's all about having a good social credit record for when China takes control of the world.

As a foreigner in Thailand, I have cameras in my car. I am not particularly well connected with influential people and feel that in the event of an accident, the video will keep the blame and resulting compensation on the at fault party. To me, a dashcam is insurance from getting extorted. The CCTV cameras about town are what the RTP use to solve crimes, god knows without the cams absolutely no crimes would be solved here. The UK and China CCTV is far more prevalent and sophisticated than in KOW. In London an average person is recorded 300 times a day

I think (I hope) a lot of this is on a closed loop, and never gets stored or reviewed unless/except when necessary.

It's not the cameras you see that you should worry about, it's the ones you don t see. Korea has a bit of a problem with the spycams I understand.

"Spycam crimes have become so prevalent that female police officers now regularly inspect public toilets to check for cameras in women’s stalls.

In one case, offenders livestreamed footage of around 800 couples having sex — filmed in hotel rooms using cameras installed inside hair-dryer holders, wall sockets and digital TV boxes.

As well as secretly filming women in schools, toilets and offices, “revenge porn” — private sex videos filmed and shared without permission by disgruntled ex-boyfriends, ex-husbands, or malicious acquaintances — is believed to be equally widespread.

In a burgeoning scandal that has shaken South Korea’s entertainment industry, K-pop star Jung Joon-young was arrested this month on charges of filming and distributing illicit sex videos without the consent of his female partners.

The number of spycam crimes reported to police surged from around 2,400 in 2012 to nearly 6,500 in 2017.

According to official statistics about 98 percent of convicted offenders are men — ranging from school teachers and college professors to church pastors and police officers — while more than 80 percent of victims are women."
