    A network of “traffic cameras” might include other sensors than a camera.

    The 24/7 monitoring of an intersection outside of an abortion clinic might be used to find women that had an abortion.

    Police and others with access do abuse these systems for personal use with minimal oversight.

      Again, I’m not debating the problems with surveillance for non traffic related issues. However these examples in your video are very clearly traffic cameras. It does not help the issue to carry water for aggressive car driver culture in the guise of being anti-surveillance.

        You may be misinformed; The flock cameras in this video are not just traffic cameras but in fact are tracking everyone’s location all the time in a national database in a way that violates the 4th amendment.
