‘Virtual Block Watch’ wants every home to have four surveillance cameras to spy on the public

Posted on October 7, 2017June 25, 2025 by Dissent

I go away for a few days and come back to find all these messages from Joe about stories he thinks I’ll want to read and posts of his. It’s great!

Here’s another recent post of Joe’s:

If you have never heard of Virtual Block Watch (VBW) don’t worry, you soon will.

At first glance, you might think it’s like law enforcement’s Neighborhood Watch but you’d be wrong.

VBW’s are law enforcement’s latest national surveillance program that encourages the public to use surveillance cameras spy on one another.

Why do we need another national spying program? Don’t we already have DHS’s ‘See Something Say Something’ spying program?

As you will see, one surveillance program is never enough.

Police across the country are encouraging the public to ‘voluntarily’ let police have access to their CCTV cameras.
