> Are you saying you're okay with this tech being used by law enforcement of small villages, but not so much big cities?

No. These systems aren't just local, even if the institutions installing them are.

I'm saying that if my privacy is compromised to the people in my immediate community, that's many orders of magnitude better than my privacy being compromised in a widespread, industrial way. At least I know the people in my community.

More importantly, the privacy invasion isn't going to be as all-encompassing as what happens with systems like flock, where everything gets put into databases and combined with the data in other databases. And the potential for me suffering unintended consequences are far lower with the small village.



Makes a ton of sense. Thanks for the response.
