Good idea: keep the confrontational 1st amendment auditors, lose the benefits of security cameras. /s

No idea who you mean by the first group.

Security cameras are fine for filming your own property.

1st amendment auditors = confrontational streamers who deliberately take public filming to an extreme.

Any cameras are fine for recording any public property. That’s the whole idea of being in public: others can see you, you can see them, and you aren’t (shouldn’t) be doing something you wouldn’t mind being recorded. You have no expectation of privacy standing on a sidewalk.

		I'm fine that others can see me. But we don't have to extend that to unlimited recording. We don't have to extend that to robots. 50 years ago you didn't have privacy walking around outside but you weren't subject to constant surveillance and tracking. The current state isn't some inevitable fact of life. It's fixable without any draconian action.
