How do we feel about flock or similar camera networks around the world? Like yeah a dude with cameras on his face is one issue and then there's the systemic distribution of millions of cameras which is arguably worse but feels more normal to many.
Those are used for good and by proper authorities. We need to sacrifice a little abit of liberty for getting a lot more security.
They are not used for good. Pretty sure it’s been proven a lot of individuals that have access to the footage disproportionately search through the database, likely not for law enforcement reasons.
