The only acceptable change is the removal of these cameras.

I can't go walk my dog around the neighborhood without looking up and seeing police accessible cameras. They can track my movements with no probable cause and no warrants.

And they're objectively ugly as fuck. I am fortunate enough to live in a neighborhood with a two mile tree-lined path, and these are the only inorganic "scenery" besides the path and adjacent road. It's ruined my daily walks.

That isn't enough.

It doesn't deal with the lingering threat that remains of the people who would be willing to do this kind of stuff for money.

The problem is ultimately that there are people motivated to spy on their neighbours and bring about a totalitarian surveillance nightmare in exchange for money.

You're just playing whack-a-mole as long as these people can still operate in society. They'll be back, and more insidious and more determined to destroy society.

What's the solution to that?

> They can track my movements with no probable cause and no warrants

My understanding is that IF they are tracking your historical movements over time from multiple different cameras, that constitutes a "search" and the Fourth Amendment requires a warrant in that case.

There have been slightly different variations to this in the courts lately, such as google location history and geofence warrants, but unless you know of a legal precedent (besides "they're getting away with it right now") that says historical movements don't need a search, I'm inclined to believe that they do.

Whether or not that is currently being successfully tested in court is another story.
