This is government overreach. Everyone should be allowed to run a surveillance system. People should be allowed to sell biometric data to each other, to corporations, or to the government. Such a restriction is preventing so many jobs from being created.

If anyone is allowed to do this, everyone should be allowed to do this. Which is to say that no one should be allowed to do this.

Why should no one be allowed to do this? If photons are landing on my property, they belong to me.

Private security cameras aren't the issue here at all.

People are mostly objecting to government misuse of security tech to accelerate unconstitutional enforcement.

Flock cameras are private security cameras.

those photons are a violation of the NAP!

Is this sarcasm?

Morbid thought: what if there was a company that sold cameras that people could attach inside their windshield that uploaded license plates and their location as they drove around, and if you participated in uploading, you get access to the database to look up license plates?

It's very good satire.

We have a defense budget. Deploy some troops or hellfire the jamming operator

With each hellfire costing upwards of $150k per shot, it's not cost effective to use them to shoot down jammers

To be fair, parent commenter said the operator, not the jammer.
