I've got mixed feelings about the flock cameras.

Twelve of them around a high density shopping center is perfectly reasonable.

Just one at the entrance of a neighborhood is severe overreach.

I don't mind the idea of building a surveillance state within certain parameterized boundaries, but once you are in a residential setting these things feel like military incursion. Homeowners can already opt-in to video doorbells, security cameras on their properties, etc.

Home Depot & law enforcement don't need a 500-mile diameter security perimeter around each retail store to catch the guy stealing Milwaukee products. The cameras in the parking lot and leading up to the freeway should give you enough room to play with unless you are vastly incompetent at basic police work.

Boy do I have news!
