    My local walmart recently significantly expanded the self checkout area with the new scanners. Currently they either don’t have functioning cameras or they display a gray camera icon where it normally would show a live view.

      Not that it matters here specifically, fuck Walmart. But don’t assume that just because a feed on a public screen is blank, that it isn’t being recorded or actively viewed elsewhere.

        Also don’t assume that just because a public screen was showing that a video is being recorded. Those little screens in the isles that light up when you walk by don’t record, the over heads do though.
