Private surveillance on public roads, TX

mardi 28 mars 2023 à 14:02

The car tracking company Flock made a deal with a homeowner's association to install surveillance cameras in Lakeway, Texas, without even consulting or informing the city government. (The city's thug department did participate in the deal.)

The fact that the government was kept out of the matter is a additional secondary outrage, but the system itself would be no less unjust if the city government had approved such tracking.

Tracking people's movements is an injustice, and the foundation of repression. No person or entity, whether governmental or private, should be allowed to track a car except under a warrant ordering tracking in a specific place for a bounded time.
