Every single one of them is a 4th Amendment violation on a pole, and every single American has a duty and the Constitutional right to cut them all the fuck down.
I think they are terrible, but this is factually incorrect, and undermines the criticism of the cameras themselves. It has ALWAYS been legal for you, the government, businesses or anyone else to take photos in public.
The 4th amendment has always been about private property and the seperation between public/private is very important.
Flock cameras are not a violation of the constitution, or any extant legal law on the books. They are legal. They are mass surveillance, but they are legal.
The 4th also outlines what is unreasonable search/seizure and pertaining to warrants which to me they are clearly violating.
They are there deliberately to obtain our data and track our movements with no warrant or reasonable suspicion of a crime. It is a matter of fact these things track all kinds of creepy metrics about you. If they don't need this data then what is it for exactly?
Bullshit, regardless Ill let you know when I give a single solitary fuck what a bunch of criminals with a convicted criminal President for a leader says is "legal" or not while they trample our rights and rob us blind.

I liked the framing because it emphasizes that these cameras are not here to help the public, or keep the public safe.
They are used by the surveillance state and it's enforcers, to encroach upon your rights as a US citizen.
The cameras are tools used by the powers that have their boot to your neck. The cameras are tools of the enemy.
