You "noticed" that? I found it to be not well supported at all so it wasn't a consideration. How do you know what you're asserting here? It wasn't in evidence in what was presented for this discussion.

If you want to make an argument at least pick the idiot reporter that started following someone in their car. Because that is something we have first hand evidence for in this story.

Whether you do or don't, it's pretty obvious you support this because your "argument" boils down to semantics and obviously false separation of government and private companies (as if the government can't stop them, but then buys data from them). You're not worth spending any more time on as it's clear you've made your mind up.

Also from the article context it's pretty clear the flock employees are being trained to make false reports with specific phrases "might be armed" and "harassing" when neither are true. Just read what was said about people going around the preimeter of their property. It's laughably false with just the right amojnt of weasel words and possibility of interpertation to not be an obviously false report. I'm so tired of that style of weasel language. It's painfully obvious what's going on and one has to be lobotomized or a bootlicker to support it.

"Privacy in a public place" is not what's being asked for. The concept of "not having privacy in public" is completely and totally outdated and different now that you can be passivley tracked by a network of cameras and software in a way that used to take a warrant and significant amount of law enforcement officers. This now happens all the time, without any action on the part of law enforment or flock, just by the nature of the system. Again, without a warrant Without even resonable suspicion or probably cause. To be called up on demand for any reason and without a warrant. Do you understand the difference?

Unfortunately it doesn't appear to be a drop in replacement for smart TVs, but you can get most of the way there regardless.

I don't trust any smartTV providers. LG may be the target of this story, but I'm sure all of them are guilty of this to various degrees.

It means Iran has severely limited the capacity of the Strait of Hormuz. It's a hostage situation. No one is winning, but the objective isn't to win in the sense of completely closing the Strait, the objective is to create a sufficiently long period of pain that eventually the US and its allies walk away. Christ almighty, force multiplication is hardly a new concept.

There are plenty of places in North America without coverage because there's so little to cover. The Los Vegas metropolitan area has about three million people. So yes, that would be a place with cell phone coverage. By the same token, coverage in states like Montana, particularly in mountainous areas is spotty because, well, there's not a lot of people.
