gollark: That sounds bad.
gollark: > you didnt realize reatailers use face mapping technology for years?Not sure about that, but I would definitely want to *minimize* the amount of cameras and/or spying in any case.
gollark: > And you can track people for block and block on end, via public transit cameras. So even if they get a brief glimpse of the person, they can track them until they get an identifiable image or even where they live. Subpoenaing records is just building the case to prove it was youSounds surveillance-state-y.
gollark: Ah yes, one example, so that means EVERYONE gets caught.
gollark: h? h.
