From <https://www.techdirt.com/articles/20180204/07404639150/camera-makers-still-showing-zero-interest-protecting-users-with-built-in-encryption.shtml>: The Freedom of the Press Foundation sent a letter to major camera manufacturers in December 2016, letting them know filmmakers and journalists would appreciate a little assistance keeping their data out of governments' hands. ... We've covered many cases where police officers have seized phones/cameras and deleted footage captured by bystanders. ... Unfortunately, it doesn't look like camera manufacturers are considering offering encryption. The issue still doesn't even appear to be on their radar, more than a year after the Freedom of the Press Foundation's letter -- signed by 150 photographers and filmmakers -- indicated plenty of customers wanted better protection for their cameras. ... If a government can search something, it will. Encryption may not thwart all searches, but it will at least impede the most questionable ones.
