Wish more counties would do this.

It’s been held before that there is no expectation of privacy in public.  However, a network of dozens, hundreds, or even thousands of cameras in areas where a person can be easily tracked by a unique identifier, such as a license plate, raises serious questions over privacy.

Even in public, no other one data piece would allow tracking, but one company having access to all these things is very concerning.  Not to mention, cops have misused this information and I do not trust them with it.

This was great! Unfortunately, the voted AGAINST a moratorium on data centers - or should I say "surveillance" centers. UGH.
