Ha, the real result is that the Flock camera is getting swapped out for an Axon version and the surveillance continues. I was tempted to make a bumper sticker that said, "Flock your Camera, and kiss my Axon." But I'd probably get sued for using their trademark names.

The way I understand it, fair use should apply here if its a sticker. Just, every copper everywhere is gonna be pulling you over and probe your axon.

The only criticism against surveillance I’ve seen is government can use it for nefarious purposes but realistically thats not gonna be for us. I doubt the state department or whatever gives a shit who we are, 99.99% wont ever be a threat to the government. I honestly dont care whether they have my data or not because what are they going to do with it and I’ve never done anything wrong. And we can put strict boundaries on government surveillance limits instead of advocating for complete ban on surveillance.

its wild to see Reddit be okay with it but I am not surprised.

They just wanna be controversial. You see, if you say right now that surveillance is ok then, if you're lucky, and everyone gets gaslit the other way around, you can say the 3 magic words:

"told you so"

and have receipts.
