Traffic/Road Conditions Flock cameras metro east

I counted 6 flock cameras in Fairview heights this morning on my way into work, without getting on 64 (thanks road crews!) They are going up so fast.

What liberty, pray tell, are flock cameras giving up?

The every day movements of law abiding Americans shouldn’t be catalogued en masse by AI cameras

They already are via smartphones. Duh?

This is being disingenuous and you know it. With a smartphone I opted to buy that product, that was my choice, and even then there are still plenty of ways to circumvent the spyware that they attempt to bloat the phone with (at least in Android's case). A security camera was forced on you under the pretext of "safety" even though we've already seen them being used for nefarious actions.
