It would be interesting if someone sat outside any PD with a camera on a tripod pointed directly at their front door and parking lot entrance. Then had any interaction filmed as well. See how they like being surveilled. I for one, would like to see how that plays out. Seeing as how filming from a sidewalk is constitutionally protected activity. I suspect it would get fairly tangled in about 10 seconds flat.

If someone’s collecting data on us they’re selling or getting paid to do so. Since it’s our info they’re collecting and selling we need a law to require them to pay us a cut. Just film, no problem. But the second you match us to anything that reveals our identity you owe us.

It’s been done. Most of the time they get real touchy, real fast!
