Man I am on your side. I love privacy and security. I can't stand "for the kids" rhetoric. I wouldn't be using Lemmy otherwise. But The limit to 5k€ per transaction is really useful, has already damaged mafia, and prevents big chunks of money to go untraced, leaving room for privacy for regular people. In an ideal world I would be against such action, but I do believe this is the best thing to do when 10% of your GDP is produced illegally.
I also want to apologize for my previous message which could have been interpreted as passive aggressive, it was not intended as such.
I'm all for privacy and I'd use Monero all the time, but this kind of regulations heavily damaged the mafia so tbh let's go for it. I'm not gonna spend 3k per transaction regardless
First of all, you can operate a fully FOSS firmware on your cameras: see OpenIPC (it needs some soldering tho).
Second, you can try Frigate or ZoneMinder as NVR.
The FSF actively encourages people to do that, and yes their legal team is there. Not sure whether it's "powerful" but surely better than a single developer
Other countries need a police diploma equivalent to a bachelor's degree, or higher. Background check, psychological check, more oversight by people and by federals would also help.
