> like I'm being watched.

Working as intended? It’s a wireless CCTV.

Like they're being watched by every data broker customer on the planet, not their neighbor.

Being recorded while on public property is not illegal in many jurisdictions, but it's certainly iffy and should not be normalized. Any cameras should be directed so that they're exclusively aimed at your own property.

Counterpoint: everyone needs to own their own video streams

I hate it, but you are being recorded everywhere you go. Your plates and your face get scanned every single day, all day long. This is normalized. Privacy is dead.

You will never get access to any of that data when you need it. It is not there to help you. You need to keep your own evidence of the world around you; you never know when you will need it.

		I just assume that I’m on video, at any given time. Not condoning it; just accepting reality. > It is not there to help you It’s like those “This call may be monitored for 'quality' purposes.” service calls. You can bet, that if the recording helps the company, they’ll have it, but if it helps you, well, they didn’t record that call.

I'm walking on the pavement. And yes, it is illegal to point cameras at public spaces in my country (Denmark), but the law is not really enforced.
