This guy can go suck an egg..

He also added, “Let’s take Bandera back to 1880 properly. No double standards, no hypocrisy. If LPRs are ‘unconstitutional’ and invade our right to ‘public’ privacy, we need to be courageous enough to go all the way. I look forward to the ‘Privacy First’ crowd showing up to support these bans [...] just remember to leave your phones at home.”

It's not that difficult to see the difference between having the option to decide not to bring your phone if you don't want to be tracked, and not even getting an option to avoid AI-powered CCTV systems all over town.

This whole "you have no expectation of privacy in public" nonsense needs to end. Even in "public," we had the concept of stalking as a crime!

The technology now goes so far beyond that there are no longer just two categories: we now have public, private, and panopticon.

Why don't they install a public CCTV camera in his toilet if he doesn't think privacy is important

Actually, it would probably be more appropriate for the municipal website to display the location of any vehicles he owns, and what speed they're travelling at if they're in motion, at all times. Sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander, and all that. Automated software that watches the page and tickets him every time he exceeds the speed limit is optional, but recommended. Additional intrusive software on his phone that tickets him if he uses it while driving is also optional but recommended.

The headline reads better with a couple of commas:

Angry, tiny, Texas town council member...

Figures it’s Bandera. They want so badly to be back in their 1800s heyday of the “white cowboy rules all” era. They’re literally called “the Cowboy Capital of the world”

Glad they’re not overreacting, or anything!

Textbooks really need to have dedicated chapters to shit all over people like this so people know what it looks like when it comes.

Not just nazis are bad, but a paragraph a George up the street who swears blind he saw coloured folk eating dogs at the satanic shindig.

Relatable. At first glance.
