You have no, ZERO, expectation of privacy in your everyday travels throughout public spaces. A private business can take pictures of you as you enter their business. They can record you the entire time you choose to be on their property. Police officers can watch you or record you for a reasonable amount of time. If you are reasonably suspected of committing a crime, police can record you 24 hours a day if they see fit.
"Government surveillance" only really exists in your head. Nobody cares what YOU are doing. You are not an important person outside of your immediate sphere of influence. This is absolutely about a private business lawfully putting up/taking down cameras. You just like to yell about stuff to make yourself feel like you matter. You don't. Neither do I.
Explaining things to you is like teaching poker to a snail.
That EVERYONE already knows there is no right to privacy in public seems like a novel thought to you. Well DUH Sherlock, that is not what is being discussed by the non dense people here.
It is NOT just about a private business putting up cameras.
I’m almost astounded that you can’t understand this.
The issue is that Flock cameras are de facto full time surveillance which can, will be and have been illegally used by agents of government whether local, state or federal.
Educating YOU is a fool’s errand and total fail.
