I need help advocating for privacy in my HOA, which wants to set up cameras in common areas - Divisions by zero

A new neighbor moved in and is really advocating for them, but I think most people in the HOA are split. It’s come up after some recent thefts after someone left a garage door open. I’m thinking of organizing my arguments like this: 1. Even with a camera capturing a thief’s face, police are unlikely to actually catch the person or retreive the stolen property. 2. Invasion of personal privacy, I don’t like being tracked and my whereabouts being monitored 3. Surrendering biometric data without my consent 4. Police / ICE using the data without permission to harass our residents How does this sound? It’s so exhausting fighting against this. Does anyone have any other good points or articles that can provide support? Many thanks in advance

recent thefts after someone left a garage door open

why not put a camera in the garage then?

Why not close the garage door?
Na, too simple
Okay, why not automate the garage door via IoT devices (“smart home”)?
The S in IoT stands both for “smart” and “security”
Okay, why not automate the garage door via IoT devices (“smart home”) that only communicate locally over the LAN and are isolated to a specific VLAN?
