These shoppers getting booted really steamed me. Individual stores, individual systems: that’s one (uncomfortable) thing. Sharing the data means disenfranchising. And when they go out of business someday the data of the whole country is sold to the highest bidder.

Wish we could fix it legislatively so they don’t say “terrorism everywhere, need camera everywhere”. (One imagines that Flock CEO would love us to constantly wear bodycams…)

btw on the internet gotta wonder if someone’s gonna read that & be like “oh let’s do it with 20 people inside”
