  • There is a question on the constitutionality of automated surveillance technology, the type of data that is being collected, who has access to them, and how they are using it. Additionally, some other concerns I can think of off the top of my head are:

    • Are the taxpayers funding this?
    • Is my data being sold?
    • If so, who is profiting?
    • Where is supporting data showing this type of surveillance is needed?
    • What demographical areas are these cameras more prevalent in? Aka are there a subset of peoples being targeted by this type of surveillance?
    • What are the rules and regulations agencies need to follow with the data they capture with this tool?















  • This is due to vasodilation.

    “Vasodilation occurs in superficial blood vessels of warm-blooded animals when their ambient environment is hot; this process diverts the flow of heated blood to the skin of the animal, where heat can be more easily released to the environment. The opposite physiological process is vasoconstriction. These processes are naturally modulated by local paracrine agents from endothelial cells (e.g., nitric oxide, bradykinin, potassium ions, and adenosine), and by the autonomic nervous system and the adrenal glands, both of which secrete catecholamines, such as norepinephrine and epinephrine, respectively.[6][7]”

    It’s the opposite of vasoconstriction, which occurs when you’re cold and your extremities have less blood flow to prioritize the warmth of your core organs.
