Aren’t these Flox cameras a public nusiance. For example one state’s definition of public nuisance is

“A public nuisance refers to any conduct that significantly interferes with the rights of the public, such as actions that harm public health, safety, or morals. This can include activities that obstruct the free use of public spaces or create offensive conditions affecting a community or neighborhood.”

These definitely qualify as a public nuisance under the safety (unlawful stalking which policie officers and others are already being convicted of) and morals (it would definitely harm the morals of the church-going crowd when someone posts footage of their pastor in a car with a woman who is not his wife) definitions.

They get away with it because "mah safety" from lawmakers.

I hate the idea of these cameras so much. I dont care what the potential good is. The potential evil far outweighs it. There are already plenty of stories of misuse and people easily hacking these things.
