    I feel that this should be the biggest issue in US national news. And although I do not consume much main stream news I have only ever seen blogs and small circulation articles on the issue. Like how can any one on either aide of the political divide be ok with shit?

      Watch the Louis Rossmann thing in the Austin hearing… the mayor of whothefuckever he is actively out-of-ordered anyone mentioning those cameras… except the representatives of the company that makes them, who got to speak, twice, uninterrupted.

      There is good traction on the federal lawsuit in Norfolk. Your absolutely right this is a bipartisan issue. It will set huge precident if IJ wins the case. At the very least, LEO needs warrants to use the system. Right now it’s the wild west.

      IJ posts updates of the case here. They have already tried to derail the lawsuit multiple times but they have been able to push through all the appeals thus far so it can actual go to a jury trial.

      Because Trump supporters will say, “I don’t do anything wrong so it doesn’t matter, it’ll only catch libruls”

      And Trump administration people will say, “Well they won’t use it on me ever and we can use it to inflict maximum suffering on our enemies”

        Most Democrats will and have said the same thing.

        Oddly… Trump admin people know better than that… but I’m not expecting them to actually do anything differently than what you suggest. Probably both are already captured by whatever data has already been found on them.

      several reasons:

      they both think they’re in control of it… but mostly because the people funding most of them (same people) are telling them not to… often in the form of police unions and relevant organizations

      any party large enough to win anything is going to be mostly co-opted… you gotta vote for individuals… not parties.
