Because many people agree with having cameras to help reduce/monitor crimes.

From their views, the right isn't trampled. It's a win

The whole "government can't spy on you, but can pay a corporation to do it" is crazy. From requesting data from big tech to this, it's just wild.

It feels like some juvenile "I can't kill you but I can pay this guy $200k to make you go away"

		These are public areas. It's not spying. Almost every house in my neighborhood has 1-2 cameras pointing around their houses. When there's an issue, my neighbors share the footages with the group, and that's so useful. And I live in a very very democrat state/city. Also, we should definitely address the privacy and access control issue with Flock. Removing the cameras isn't the right solution.
