Being against mass-surveillance should be a bipartisan struggle. Given our political polarization, each side is highly distrustful about what "the other side" will do with mass amounts of data about their side. This should be a cause that unites everyone.

Curious if hoisting an Ipad on the end of his pool skimmer that just showed a video of random cars and their license plates, causing the camera to register a bunch of false positives?
That's a fun idea! I wonder if it'd work if you just used something like an e-Ink screen and had it generate random license plates? I suppose "blocking the view of surveillance cameras" is probably illegal though.
i've said this before on Hn but I called the sheriff to discuss these in our neighborhood and asked if they could search for our whereabouts and he said "only if there's an active crime for your plate", so I said "what if the governor imposes a 'bird flu curfew'?" and after some kerfuffling said in theory yes they could then use it to track offendors.

A persons political persuasion can tell you something about their values, and the policies they would prefer enacted for a given topic.

“heavy-set male with a black and white hat”
“person on skateboard”
“person wearing orange vest and construction hat”
A sledgehammer would be a better solution.
For the community, the vandal, and progress, no.

It is at least somewhat relevant. A persons political persuasion can tell you something about their values, and the policies they would prefer enacted for a given topic. Republicans AFAIK have not been on the crusade to end mass surveillance or promote privacy laws to regulate big tech, so seeing a republican man stand up for this right might help you understand that the sentiment of the party is not unanimous.
Nothing pro-/anti-human or dog in that headline, just increasing intrigue without resorting to clickbait. Assuming a man really did bite a dog (bad!).
