They very well might be using the data in nefarious ways beyond just detecting people who blow through a bus stop sign, and I support legislation restricting that.

But when you’re driving a deadly vehicle on public roads, you don’t have a legal right to privacy that’s the same as if you were on private property.



I trust zero cameras in a world where Flock exists. Seeing me in a camera in a public place? Not a violation of my privacy. Using cameras to track my movements? Absolutely a violation of my privacy.

Laws first, then we’ll talk about cameras.


I don't own a car, but I still walk on the sidewalks, and these cameras can still see my face. Or do I also need to accept the reduced privacy imposed on motorists when I step outside my front door facing a road?
