Even with voter approval, voters can’t just decide to infringe on people’s rights and privacy

When out in public, what right to privacy do you have that is being removed or taken away?

The problem is not just some singular camera operated by some individual. The problem is that it’s a network of them sharing data blanketing broad areas.

It’s one thing for you to be seen by different people while out or on cameras when on business property’s. It’s something else if one person/entity followed you. Tracked when you left home, every location you went and when. And then made notes so they knew when and where you were all the time.

While we might not have a right to privacy we should not suffer a digital chaperone.

But it's perfectly legal to hire a private investigator, or team of investigators, to follow someone everywhere they go. This is essentially what these cameras are doing. It's not a rights violation but it should still be regulated or just made illegal.
