I think that was precisely their target market with this and I'm sure Florida and Arizona are full of them. They really are hideous though, much more in person.
Not every search is comparable to one another. Searching a car for immigrants near the border fence is one thing while searching an American citizen's personal phone containing all kinds of private informatoon at an airport in the middle of Georgia is another. This is all based off allegations of CSAM, but I would imagine the federal government would actually have to make a case for why they suspected CSAM in the first place to make the seizure legitimate. In reality, they probably wanted this guys messages and phone calls related to his activism so that they can target those people too, which is going to be hard to make a case for in court depending on the judge.
In my experience, this only works for so long and then starts brewing resentment. I've been selling 3D prints but have grown tired of it and now it takes so much effort to complete.

What an absolute fucking joke of a proposal. Yeah, let's blanket the earth in mirrors so that we can light up some random construction site temporarily.
I saw one a few days ago from some alleged young woman/possibly teenager talking about how she's into talking to old men online and if it was wrong to block a guy who'd demanded to see a photo of her full ID after she sent a pic of it with her information covered up.
I've noticed a lot more right-wing "just asking questions!" type comments lately but chalk it up to there being an election this year and the right spreading their plague around social media.
The data processing isn't after the fact, its happening in real time and your examples of tech companies tracking you are things you can opt out of but you can't opt out of being tracked by these cameras posted around your city on government property funded by your own tax dollars.
Police arent allowed to perform a stakeout on a citizen and track all their movements 24/7 without a warrant, therefore they shouldn't be allowed to have some AI do it without a warrant instead.
