Privacy is part of American liberty. Flock Cameras are fundamentally anti-American. The government serves the people, not the other way around. The Fourth Amendment protects Americans from unreasonable searches and government surveillance. Our homes, personal papers, communications, and private lives are not open for government agents to inspect whenever they want. When authorities want to intrude, they need lawful justification. These protections exist for a reason. The Founders knew what abusive government power looked like, and they understood that freedom cannot survive if ordinary citizens have to live wondering whether the government is constantly watching them. Privacy is not some favor given to us by politicians. It is part of the constitutional system that keeps government power limited and accountable. Americans should be free to live, speak, think, and associate without unjustified government intrusion. That is not paranoia. That is liberty. It does not mean we want criminals to roam wild. I understand the desire to use tools to catch criminals like Flock. But this fundamentally is Anti-American and it puts a target on the back of every innocent citizen. This is not the way. Good on @GregAbbott_TX for stepping in and defending Texans on this.
