- jjtheblunt 1y ago1. This is illegal eavesdropping https://www.law.cornell.edu/wex/plain_view_doctrine_0 https://www.law.cornell.edu/wex/plain_view_doctrine_0 might apply, though IANAL
- seanw444 1y agoThat's probably exactly the rationalization for this. No expectation of privacy in a public space, and therefore no requirement for warrant to eavesdrop. I may not like it, but the government will find absolutely any way to do things we don't like in spite of the infinite attempts to restrain it from doing so decades or centuries ahead of time.
- zoklet-enjoyer 1y agoThere are eavesdropping laws specifically about audio recording. Not sure if it's federal or state by state.

- kotaKat 1y agoGet little throwable "annoy-o-tron" devices with a button-cell and a magnet that randomly play little gunshot sounds or fake screams and throw them near the Raven sensors.
