I suppose if one were to ignore 250 years of constitutional law
What "Constitutional Law"? Citation needed. Needed so badly, I'll do it for you:
Oh, wait...
people shouldn't have a government that follows their every step by using AI and networked devices
Maybe, we should not, but there is not law prohibiting government to do this.
AI may be new, but the problem is not, and courts have repeatedly reaffirmed government's right to surveil us in public without any warrants (list courtesy of Grok). The second item — known as Knotts — is particularly telling...
Besides, how can the 4th Amendment include cameras, which didn't exist in the 18th century, if the 2nd doesn't protect "assault rifles"?
Wrong, it's a slight of hand. This is not about individual cameras, this is about the network that uses all cameras together to follow you no matter what you do, no matter where you go, people shouldn't have a government that follows their every step by using AI and networked devices. If this was about individual cameras you would have a point, it is not, it is unreasonable to allow a government to exist that creates a panopticon of this scale, citizens shouldn't feel like they are inside a prison and the warden is watching.
Usage of Flock cameras is almost certainly a violation of the 4th amendment.
It most definitely is not. The actual text of the Amendment, for your benefit:
The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated.
The camera is not peering into your pockets, or windows. It is only looking at what's publicly visible...
Very simple, obvious, common-sense argument: whatever a human policeman can see and memorize, an electronic device can record too.
Governments don't have the right to do mass general surveillance
Huh?! Why not? Let's focus on American (Federal) government in particular — what is prohibiting them from conducting "mass general surveillance"?
Not saying, it is good — or bad — just want you to substantiate your claim, that it is somehow illegal...
Yes, it was theft.
I asked about genocide, not theft...
we signed treaties with the natives and then BROKE LITERALLY EVERY ONE OF THEM
What treaties?.. But do enumerate the genocides first, before you go rambling further off topic...
You name it, our government has done it, including coups, assassinations, coups, genocides, false flags, drug trafficking, human trafficking, willfully selling munitions to international criminals
Genocides — plural — is the worst accusation here, and warrants a follow-up question. What genocides (two or more) has our government committed — within our lifetimes?
They're going to make an example out of him and give him the maximum.
"They" who? A jury of his peers?
I doubt it...
never enter the US. Works great
Works great for all of us indeed.
Do be sure to take your phone to China with you, though. It just might heal your delusions about "multipolar world" and all that.
So any interaction with the Brownshirts of Fatherland Security?
That was true even before Germany's surplus WWI uniforms were distributed to adherents of a certain party...
better to not have that data on you when you cross certain borders
How about any border? Even more generally, at any situation, when the ordinary rights do not obtain...
in an unregulated market (what consumers need), new businesses are able to create new competition if there is money to be saved for consumers.
I wonder, what the long term consequences of obtaining — and using — this skill are, if any... Does it make one smarter? Or faster? Does it reduce — or increase — the risk of developing Altzheimer? Does it affect personality in any way?
Also, can the skill be lost — if not regularly used — or is it more like bicycle-riding?
