    Except it literally is a conspiracy (An agreement to perform together an illegal, wrongful, or subversive act.) and actually happening. Debatably it’s legal, rightful, and not subversive. I think most people would disagree though. It’s not like people are just guessing this is happening. We know the data is being sold, to the police/government, and presumably also to other companies.

      In this case, it might not involve the surveillance company selling or sharing anything. All an insurance adjuster has to do is knock on doors in the area and ask the home owners if they are willing to share any video footage they have.

      And yes, people do this all the time. I work in this industry.

      I really hate to stand on the side of the data hoarding conglomerates, but there’s a significant chance they were not involved in the release of that video.

      Sure, but people STILL knock on the doors. They likely didn’t participate in a conspiracy to get it, sorry.
