i understand you’re pointing out that they might just be taking a photo of the package for delivery confirmation. however, the ambiguity is what concerns me. when someone aims a camera at my house, i can’t know for sure what they’re capturing. they could be interested in how i look, what sensitive information is displayed on my computer screens, what i’m watching on tv, what’s inside my house, or even why there’s a large sum of money on the table. last time i checked, i couldn’t tell if they were shooting a photo, a video, in wide-angle, or macro mode, or what the camera was even focusing on. that’s unsettling, and it shouldn’t have to be my concern.
