  1. If this technology was used for genuine good reasons i.e. disaster relief, search and rescue etc. then that works for the good. When this technology is used as a tool for law enforcement then its should be regulated and codified as to how and when it is used.

  2. Every time I watch these videos it makes me want to join the Amish or an uncontacted Amazon tribe.

    1. It happened to me yesterday as I left my house. Three police cruisers were waiting in my neighborhood and followed me as I entered the highway.

    2. Counter surveillance! Bluetooth jamming mock location encryption use tuta mail or proton, use developer options, dont use WiFi, use a faraday pouch and set things up like Jason Bourne 😂as long as you have control of your phone and accounts are locked then they just follow you like puzzies😂

  3. What are the Police doing with all this information. Why haven’t we all been consulted about the roll out of this BS. They don’t have my consent. This is personal I.D theft & is out off control.

  4. CBS had a great show that came out in early 2010s called Person of Interest that was about a AI powered machine that would flag perps/victims before the crime took place. It was a great show and much of this vid reminded me of it

  5. The federal act that i’m speaking about is known as the patriot act was enlisted after nine eleven to track terrorist
