Gee, I'm sure there aren't any national security ulterior motives...
I’m just not convinced that there is one government out there that doesn’t spy on its people one way or another.
They’ll never ever give up the ability to collect intel on its own people, but we can sure put up a fight and hold them off as best we can.
Wonder how the founding fathers would feel about this, but kinda expect just to find out they were doing the same thing but with physical people/spies
Did you read the article at all?

The states have a very similar problem with law enforcement and placing their own cameras all over too. If anyone needs reference check out these Flock cameras.
