Or maybe if you feel that this is sacrificing your right to privacy, your definition of privacy has expanded way beyond reasonable limits. It honestly reminds me of the people who complain about legalizing gay marriage as a violation of the

That's a circular argument. What constitutes "proper" regulation and control is the thing in question here.

Even if that happens, it will be no worse than the status quo of not having cameras. If anything, it will look more suspicious that the camera suddenly failed before a suspect supposedly fell down 3 flights of stairs, whereas today, you

Well, that's the fundamental disagreement, really. Do you have a right to not be seen when out in public? I don't think you do, and continuing to insist on that when technology in general and recording technology in particular are

As your quote implies, just because no justification exists now doesn't mean none will exist in the future. And when that happens, you will often wish you had historical data rather than having to start recording going forward. For ex

And it's those nonsensical laws that are the problem, not surveillance. Limiting surveillance doesn't help solve any of that, it just makes enforcement more arbitrary.

Probably because "echo" is too common of a sound as a component of other words.

That's not why it's popular today. It's popular because it's inconvenient to save messages, not because it's impossible. Nobody is under any illusion to the contrary.

Just like gun registration, passports, driver licenses, and cell phones are, huh. That's why we all live in constant fear of our tyrannical overlords.

By that argument, those people won't buy the Amazon Echo either, so what's the problem?

The law says you do. If you want to change that law, fine. But if you choose not to comply, don't complain when you get fined for it.
