    So the people that like these don’t mind their own privacy being invaded? Perhaps they already know if caught doing something they will get a free pass?

      Generally the ones putting them in are on the side of the system that gets a free pass wherever they go. And the majority of the public that allows it to happen fall for the “nothing to hide, nothing to fear” fallacy.

        i mean, i can bow and scrape my way into free passes for the occasional thing (it’s usually in exchange for extraordinary services rendered years ago let’s be real), but don’t think for a second i want those flock fuckers in my country.
