Some assembly required.

I don’t give a sh*t that Flock and other unconstitutional searches may decrease crime. So will sending SWAT teams into every house in America to look for drugs or “illegal” weapons, or taking the medical records of every American and analyzing them for possible illegality. Or sending forensic accountants into every business in America and checking their books. Or….
The list is long how we can make ourselves “safer.” But as some very wise men understood, safety is a temporary condition that leads inexorably to totalitarianism.

Does that sound histrionic? Maybe, but provide a counter example please!

If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude than the animated contest of freedom – go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains sit lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen!
— Samuel Adams

Those who would give up essential liberty, to purchase a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.
— Benjamin Franklin

Government is fundamentally evil, and the expansion of its surveillance capacity simply makes it worse, and gives it more power over us. If anyone thinks that government is expanding its surveillance capacity because it will make us safer, then I have a bridge to sell you. They expand it, and all of its power, for one reason: control over the people.

We have to push back whenever we can, and Flock cameras are an excellent place to take a stand. And it’s easy! Agitate against them in every public forum, starting with your local government council. And if you ever end up on a jury for a trial of someone who destroyed a Flock camera or any other onerous surveillance technology…you know what to do.

Well, one would hope so, at any rate. Alas, one might have his doubts about that.
