How does a random driveway photo help you steal packages?
Basically the bosses at courier companies dont (and probably cant) check that the photo corresponds with the address. These drivers actively look for doorbell cameras and cctv too. If there is surveillance they're less likely to steal.
Man, I shouldn’t have even fixed my doorbell cam when it broke. It sounds like it’s basically a deterrent.
It probably takes 15 seconds to put the address into street view and have a look around. Shouldn't be too dificult to validate the photo. Not sure if there are any privacy policies preventing that, but I doubt it.
