You saw what happened during Covid right? One new transmissible illness and all of a sudden we’re being told what to wear, where to stand, what vaccines to take. Imagine that scenario but with cameras everywhere and bots tracking everything in real time. Open up your mailbox to a $100 fine for standing less than 6 feet away from someone at a bus stop.

And just wait until we get even more communists in our government.

It's quite possible that the cameras are not the real problem in the same way the guns are not the real problem.


So, for your analogy to be comparable, guns would have to have GPS tracking devices installed so that government could track the movement of every gun and store that information in perpetuity?

I mean, if you're legally carrying that gun and do not plan to commit a crime, you don't have anything to worry about, now do you?

He is saying guns don't kill people, people do. Cameras don't track you, corrupt government employees do.

Let's see, Trump has lost the midterms to a terrible socialist party with his war in Iran and gas/diesel prices going through the roof.

So why not take another position that angers his base?

I don't know about the "stooge" part, but yeah, this is the correct answer.

I don't know why anybody would be surprised by this coming from him.

I'd be surprised if he came out hard against them.

This is true. American voters these days was WWE/Idiocracy type campaigning amongst their elected leaders. "Owning" the other side with Tweeter, ticktocks and memes.

Actual policy discussion is so boring.

O.k., but that's why we have a 2nd amendment. So that not only the government has guns.

I'd still be against it, but a fair analogy would be if they wanted to put cameras out everywhere and that included not only making cop's body cams unable to be disabled, but also putting cameras with audio in every corner of every police station, Congressional office, Governor's office, the White House, etc., and making the footage available to the public.

After all, if they aren't doing anything wrong, then why not let everybody know what they're doing?

Just like red like runner cameras. Texas took them down, flock needs to go as well. He's a dolt on this subject as well as data centers and AI.


Different issue. Red light cameras were taken down because they couldn’t enforce the traffic fines. It provided no chance for the accused to face their accuser. Making the fines unconstitutional.


And you want China to win the AI race? Who did you root for during the Cold War? Or do you just want the government to own AI?

so we're at the point where a true conservative with a proven track record governing a large state will "never be president". what a sad reality we live in if not Ron, then who else? who would be better than him?


DeSantis wouldn’t be the governor he is today without the red legislature Florida has.

Also I thought pro Jew and pro Miriam money is bad?? Guess that only applies to Trump.

Did someone claim that intrusive and/or constitution violating measures wouldn't result in greater number of criminals being caught and potentially serve as a deterrent sufficient to lower crime?

If someone made that argument, I missed it.

Not only do Flock cameras catch criminals, they help with SILVER alerts.

True story from my family. My mother lives in Sulphur and was going to visit my sister in Vicksburg for the holidays last year. At the time no one knew my mom was battling dementia. She got confused and got lost near Monroe. My sister called the cops and they put out a SILVER alert (like an Amber alert but for Senior Citizens). They used Flock cameras to track my mom's plate and found her at a hotel checking in for the night. Sister was able to get her to her home safely. Mom has since been diagnosed and is in treatment and living with me.

And for all those people who think it's easy for you to get a person diagnosed with a brain health issue (the words mental health carry a stigma) in Louisiana, you need to try it. People have rights and laws protect them. Those laws can sometimes work against you trying to protect loved ones.

MAGA now is pro-surveillance, pro-data center, pro-AI, pro spending, pro war, pro glyphosate, pro Israel, pro mystery meat, pro vaccine

But MTG is going to ruin the mid terms
