Well, we already knew Big Brother was listening (Echelon).
Now we know Big Brother is watching (Clearview).
CNN is there to point out that it's racist.

Ditto, but to a point.
Stop terrorism, sex trafficking, and crimes that threaten the fabric of society and whatnot.
Don't stop crimes that are misdemeanors and other such things. Then it becomes a police state and people start rebelling. I know it sounds odd, but you have to allow some crime for people to feel free.

The state of Ohio declared speed cameras unconstitutional, and a Toledo judge appealed it and they kept collecting revenue while it was being appealed, but the state just declared the appeal invalid.
Toledo suspending speed cameras and radar gun cops.

I pass 2 fixed camera poles, and one spot where a cop is standing there behind a tree with a camera in a school zone 20% of the time, on my twice-daily commute.
Regular commuters know these spots, and slow down for them. They're going to drive even worse than they normally do, now. I'm really going to miss it in that school zone, because school zone speeders need to be pulled out of their cars and beaten on the street.

Park a fucking cop car there. Even if there's no cop in it, people will slow down. You don't even need to do it every day. Just often enough that people think, "The cops love to run radar here."

Biden's administration using loopholes to spy on citizens.
Ah, America! The freest country in the world! Where people have to encrypt their grocery lists so Big Brother doesn't know their favorite cereal.By partnering with research firms who have more visibility in this space, the DHS could produce information that would likely be beneficial to both it and the FBI, which can't monitor US citizens in this way without first getting a warrant or having the pretext of an ongoing investigation. The CIA and NSA are also limited on collecting intelligence domestically.

Old hotness: video + audio surveillance are the police state.

A gunshot detection system that has cost Chicago tens of millions of dollars and is touted as a critical component of the police department's effort to combat gun violence rarely produces evidence of gun-related crime in the city, Chicago's watchdog agency concluded.
In a scathing report released Tuesday, the Office of Inspector General's Public Safety section said the police department data it examined “does not support a conclusion that ShotSpotter is an effective tool in developing evidence of gun-related crime." And, the office concluded, if the department has information that shows ShotSpotter plays a key role in developing such evidence, its “record-keeping practices are obstructing a meaningful analysis of the effectiveness of the technology.”
The inspector general’s office found that between Jan. 1, 2020, and May 31 of this year, just over 50,000 ShotSpotter alerts were confirmed as probable gunshots, but that actual evidence of a gun-related crime was found in only about 4,500 instances, or about 9%.
