Camera makers resist encryption, despite warnings from photographers

The letter, sent in late-2016, called on camera makers to build encryption into their cameras after photojournalists said they face "a variety of threats from border security guards, local police, intelligence agents, terrorists, and criminals when attempting to safely return their footage so that it can be edited and published," according to the Freedom of the Press Foundation, which published the letter.
Trevor Timm, executive director of the Freedom of the Press Foundation, told ZDNet that it's "extremely disappointing the major camera manufacturers haven't even committed to investing resources into more research into this issue, let alone actually building solutions into their cameras."
It doesn't have to be the camera. According to Wikipedia, SD cards should have support for preventing access by non-authorized users; looks like camera makers are not the only ones with limited interests.
