Just ban them. I have no problem with these devices in specialty professional fields, but an invisible camera constantly directed out and controlled by individuals who I do not know at every corner in society sounds like a dystopia. The &qu

Sure, you know better than the person that actually implemented it and tells us it worked out fine. Because you've done something similar before and failed. The exact kind of know-it-all attitude I was talking about. Thanks for the dem
