Americans idolise Europe and wouldn't stop bitching about how great it is here and how easy we have it. But then they'll go 'No kings!, no government ID!, no mass surveillance!, no face scanning and fingerprinting everyone without them committing a crime!...', like, do you lot want Europe style 'democracy' or not?

    I think flock is a pretty egregious example though. The corrupt us police were using it for personal reasons most of which were nefarious.

    I'm not sure if Americans can really articulate this because they're kind of used to their police being the enemy, but I think the larger issue isn't so much the cameras themselves, it's mass surveillance by an organization that is barely one step above criminals.
