Lol, this is just an old guy that wants to say something, _anything_ to the world
He saw an abandoned trailer, then uncovered a surveillance network

#12I've heard those trailers contain 15 lbs of copper wire each.
Scrap metal and sellable parts as well. Most likely a SIM card you can get a bunch of free internet out of too.

An old guy who doesn't understand the difference between the state surveilling everything you do, and you volunteering some photographs to the world.

I loved Mr. Stanks follow up of "Privacy?! Why, you post your food on Facebook!". Because what I had for supper and where I've travelled during the day are on exactly the same level of privacy and concern. I have to assume that in the reporter's attempt to have a voice from the pro side and the con side, the best they could find was "if you're not doing anything illegal...".
It's the privacy equivalent of "She was dressed skimpy in that part of town"
If people don't have anything to hide ask them how their marriage is and when the last time was they met their mistress, since they drive by there way too often for not having one nearby that location. That line of questioning usually shuts people up, replace response with financials/location/calls/etc when needed. (I know it's a reductio ad absurdum)

#15> “If you’re not doing anything illegal, why worry about it?” said long-time Jacumba resident Allen Stanks, 70. Glad to see they dug out the most intelligent person to react to this information. It's also incredibly funny because the opposite should also apply to the government; if they're not doing anything illegal then they should have no need to hide their local surveillance network inside of abandoned trailers or…
I swear editors intentionally go with the dumbest takes to get rage engagement.

"You're in public space, you can't assume any kind of privacy here. Just don't go out."

I don't like it but I can kind of understand hiding it. People change their behavior if it's obvious.
