    I’ve been assuming I’m under surveillance each time I drive for decades at this point, starting with red-light cameras. The trend was never going to be toward fewer cameras with everything being sandboxed and tight restrictions on sharing.

    I wouldn’t be surprised if all major retailers did the same thing. Target, for example, is a major donor to the police.
