Because many people agree with having cameras to help reduce/monitor crimes. From their views, the right isn't trampled. It's a win

  The whole "government can't spy on you, but can pay a corporation to do it" is crazy. From requesting data from big tech to this, it's just wild. It feels like some juvenile "I can't kill you but I can pay this guy $200k to make you go away"

    These are public areas. It's not spying. Almost every house in my neighborhood has 1-2 cameras pointing around their houses. When there's an issue, my neighbors share the footages with the group, and that's so useful. And I live in a very very democrat state/city. Also, we should definitely address the privacy and access control issue with Flock. Removing the cameras isn't the right solution.

      If it is/can be used to track citizens arbitrarily regardless of crime, it is spying, regardless where the cameras are. You might be right that the issues could be solved without removing the cameras, but they definitely will be solved by removing the cameras.

    Government uses the private sector to get around the constitution, the private sector uses government to get around regulation. Working as it was designed to.
