    What in the article makes you think the cameras had any impact on this case? Her lawyer still hadn’t talked to her when this was published. She was still taken with no information given. The cameras only seem to normalize this for some and put fear in others. And way too many are happy with it. But doesn’t seem anyone was able to do shit about it.

    This is the new normal, this is now acceptable in every real way. Sure some people are upset, some are worried. But nothing is being done to stop it in any real way. This is America now. The country is a complete dictatorship with no laws for those in power. Seems a lot of people refuse to believe or see that.

    It baffles you that somebody might want to sit on the couch and charge their phone or pad or laptop?

    Furniture can cover outlets making them less accessible. You then don’t need a 10’ cord to reach an outlet if it’s built in. It’s also in the same spot and easy to find the cord and port.

    My headboard was cheap and came with an usb. It plugs into the outlet hidden by the bed. I now have a charging cord where I need it. Some of it is useful, some not so much.

    It won’t always be done if people don’t want it. In the 80’s everything came with a clock. The old joke about the vcr flashing 12:00 is pretty accurate. Now many things don’t come with clocks in them. Heck last time I bought a Blu-ray player a decade or so ago, there was zero lights on it. Couldn’t tell if it was on or not. I hadn’t used it in months and switched over to that port on the tv and the movie start screen had been running the whole time. lol.
