Well, if it is a public place, I don't know. Of course, in a publicly owned place, such as a bathroom, I guess there should be a certain expec-tation of privacy. Also, in the public park of Richmond, there might be places, such as rock to sit on near big bush with a lot of grass, where a couple might want to rendez-vous (for decent purposes, I mean) where maybe they should expect some privacy. (But then, with all the attacks that could take place, who knows?)

Viva la Marxist revolution! Take everything! Give nothing back!

That's actually appreciated by bored security personnel watching monitors.
Been there done that with semi-retired jobs.
Of course, I'm always hoping I am making faces at a tight wad pinhead for a security guard because me dino is mean.

Here in Kalifornia, gangs wearing masks is considered a freedom of expression; especially on a dark lit night next to a Capitalist jewelry store.

Me too! I dance and perform too!

If the cameras are there to help solve and or prevent crimes and keep citizens safe, I am all for them. The way I look at it: if I am not doing anything wrong, the I shouldn't have to worry about the cameras. After a while, many systems begin writing over the data thus erasing the old.

Defeating the KKK is why Alabama passed the law that bans masks.
Yet that law also dampened ANTIFA's attempt to act out as really bad punks at Auburn University.

Cool.

Hi Mike.
I expect new laws will be coming soon concerning drones. A few years ago a friend of mine told me he has a pretty nice drone with a good camera and he paid about $2500.00. He was amazed at what his could do for a modest price. Government has almost unlimited funds and we wondered what theirs could do.

It's frightening how openly social media is trying to stifle free speech.

For the time being (until they're censored) the alternate media online will try to get the abuses noticed. There is a concerted effort by YouTube to restrict what posters can say, just as all of the left-leaning social media sites are starting to do. Pretty soon the only really unrestricted free speech will only be available on the Dark Web.

Thanks Mike. The singer is pleasant to hear, but the idea is still unnerving.

In Michigan, also... but here is a place where wearing masks is de rigeur.

On a related note, Google executive and inheritor of neocon, Eric Schmidt (whose degree from Stanford was earned for a paper on how to lock out users), woke up to realize that drones could see into his property, so he tried to get them banned.

Empty space?
Maybe that with air that smells really bad.

Guess it's another good reason that Diane Feinstein doesn't come to Alabama. Wonder what is behind that mask?

Here in Alabama it is against the law to wear masks.
Me dino has been known to make faces at surveillance cameras though.

This is exactly why I keep a Richard Nixon mask in my truck at all times.

My new Dell laptop, at work, has a window that can be slid over the camera lens. Looks like SOMEONE was thinking...

I agree with blarman, below: ".... that if the camera is always on, it is always collecting "evidence" despite the fact that no warrant has been authorized. I find that disturbing."

Yes. I feel like too many people are accepting this technology without questioning it at all. Parameters need to be set.

I would not assume so. That is the essence of the difference between public and private. If you are in public you are observable. Now if the camera works outside the capabilities of the human eye that's an issue. I also don't know what to think about observing your license plate at various places and assembling your route. That doesn't seem like something that a normal observer could do and should probably need some type of warrant. The question really becomes: When does acceptable normal observation become too capable and thus move into another category?

I am thinking that by the time the general public realizes how this can be abused it will be way too late. Probably already is.
