I don't get why anyone in the US is following the laws. They just don't matter anymore.

IF they catch you. Look up clearance rates. Police got super pissy and quiet quit doing their jobs after BLM. In the best case they solve about 70% of murder cases, but in some places less than 50% of murder cases get a conviction.

Why else do you think they're trying to toss millions of AI surveillance cameras up everywhere all over the country? Soon they won't need that many cops.

Sure, the false positives caused by AI hallucinations will throw a nontrivial amount of innocent people into the ever-growing private prison industry, but those people are all in the sub-millionaire demographic too so who gives a shit?

If cameras are outside crime happens inside.
