What about a "private" location such as a supermarket, convenience store or bar? 🤔 Technically, those are private businesses that allow customers to enter their premises...

They can do whatever they want. You are in their place of business. Most are recording you from multiple angles. It is illegal for someone to intercept that signal and that's where this law would take effect.

You are 100% misinterpreting what that law says. This is about wire communications like phone calls, radio signals, and closed loop TV. You have zero right to privacy in a public space. I can record video or audio of you or anyone in a public space and there is nothing anyone can do about it and no they don't have to get your permission.

This is correct. I can't stop any other citizen from recording me in a public space.

It's still a public space... I can't stop you from recording me in aisle 6.
 
To clarify, I'm talking a publicly-owned space vs a privately-owned space. An owner can have someone "trespassed" from their store. The city can't really "trespass" someone from the sidewalk. Both places can be under surveillance...

Another invasion of privacy is the chance is very good a cop knocking on your door has his/her bodycam on... I suppose it works both ways because you could have a Ring or CCTV recording THEM. I'm picturing some lefty having a conversation on their Ring with a cop wanting to question them. :D

That didn't clarify anything. If you're in a privately owned grocery store, and I'm in the same store. I can whip out my phone and record you in aisle 6 without your permission. There is no law stopping me, and you cannot claim "privacy." We are effectively in a public space.

Now, if you complain to the grocery store, THEY can choose to kick me out, perhaps claiming I'm "harassing other customers." Or for any other reason. But YOU can't kick me out or stop me from recording you, nor will you have any legal recourse.

No question, when in public areas, even private property, you have no expectation of privacy. The problem is storage and use of recordings by government and law enforcement at some later date.

It's an attempt to legitimize pre-crime. Using a commercial company to work around the Constitution. It is the same as unconstitutional to me.
 
I wonder what percentage of these data centers capacity is for Flock image storage.
Right now, the "default" setting is 30 days of images, but each agency can change that if desired.
Once there is a data center or two in each state, how long before they increase the retention period?
Then, since the heat map function is already embedded, let's map the movements of all the sex offenders. Then the druggies.
The snowball builds from there.

Gee, who would have thought that license plate reading was the only thing these cameras would be used for?
That Faraday bag doesn't sound so crazy now does it? :oops:

Can’t you just disable bluetooth on your phone? Or just remove the battery if you can

I’m sure you’re right. I’ll just have to get me one of those.

TEMU has these for a few bucks. LINK I put my phone in it with the phone ON and tried to call it with another phone and it was "out of service". I can't guarantee this was the exact one I bought but similar.

I have been using temu a lot lately, been disappointed on several occasions. Also I’ve had a few orders held up for some reason and arrive late. They do give me $5 credit which encourages my addiction. Another thing I’ve noticed is that some items are exactly the same as on Amazon.
