Fuck the majority and fuck you. If this were the old Slashdot, most people here would have been LIVID at the thought of ICE pigs stopping people on the streets at random, asking for their "papers please", and often arresting them or being violent EVEN IF THEY SHOWED PROOF OF US CITIZENSHIP. When did Slashdot become the home of bootlicking bitter old codgers instead of libertarian in bent?
As far as "dumbocrapsee", the rule of the voting rabble (deplorable trash) shouldn't be paramount or unlimited. That's why we have a Bill of Rights. Remember, well over 50% of the rabble, the voting scum, supported segregation in the 1960s, and saw MLK Jr. as a Communistic troublemaker. I'm not for unlimited democracy, and I'm not even the tiniest bit ashamed of that fact.
Again, the law isn't equal to morality. I spit in the face of unjust laws, the legacies of the people who made them, and the good names of the people that enforce them.
it's not like it's constantly streaming your camera to the cloud
How do you know that?
Being from Google, I rather assume the opposite - and that they probably focused their engineering effort to make sure the reduced battery life didn't give their corporate surveillance activities away.
Or pass a law like Germany's, where violating someone's privacy in public (by, say, publishing a recording of them without consent) is either a crime or cause for a lawsuit. Also, limit retention of the recordings for businesses to a specific time period (say 14-30 days) unless they contain evidence of a crime. It should be also up to businesses NOT to allow recording devices
Finally, where do you live that you need to record everything in public to feel "safe"
Well, if you support "lawn forcement" checking stopping people and checking their papers on the street at random, then you have no respect for the Bill of Rights, and are generally an un-American piece of shit. Shame on you. Nothing worse than a bootlicking cuck.
Yeah, interfering with Fascist "lawn forcement" is sometimes a good thing. Remember, catching fugitive slaves, enforcing segregation laws, and internment of Japanese people were all once legal. Laws written by a bunch of old impotent men, enforced by thugs who are drawn from the dregs of society often have nothing to do with morality or decency.
