About six years ago I put software in my PCs and the ones my kids took places. The code allowed me to track a stolen machine. Good idea.

I think we have here a political situation here gone completely out of control. One really didn’t need access to a camera image to track a stolen machine. A bit of overkill IMHO.

One could argue that with a court order, one should be able to view the user(s) of a stolen computer.

No one is arguing that the computers in question were reported as stolen, or even missing.

And no one says they got a court order.

Any thief worth a damn will know to put a piece of black electrical tape over the camera, and there goes you good idea.
