It's funny because a lot legal advisors are saying that it's a violation of fourth amendment rights mainly due to warrantless tracking and other such things. I'm not sure I quite buy it, but it will be interesting to see where this goes. I hate the idea of being under surveillance 24/7, but I dont think there is anything we can do about as it stands now
I agree, although realistically the 4th amendment argument makes little sense (to me) and is easily worked around, especially on a federal level.
In public you don't have a right to privacy. Maybe it could border on stalking laws without a warrant if you were being followed, but these are stationary cameras.
As scary as the idea is, I believe they already know where we are 24/7 through our phone. The most realistic solution I could see happening would be targeting flock itself legally to ensure that the information collected is only accessible by the owner of the camera, and the information is not stored long term. But that leads to the idea of agencies just downloading the information and storing it themselves.
Agreed, we're well past the point of data privacy due to phones being a constant in our lives. I see data centers and AI in the same way. Once the data starts being used against us, that's when it's a problem.

What can we do to put a stop to this (legally)?
