Gee, I'm sure there aren't any national security ulterior motives...
I’m just not convinced that there is one government out there that doesn’t spy on its people one way or another.
They’ll never ever give up the ability to collect intel on its own people, but we can sure put up a fight and hold them off as best we can.
Wonder how the founding fathers would feel about this, but kinda expect just to find out they were doing the same thing but with physical people/spies

If you were going to consider the UK monarchy in it's most recent form, you'd go back to the Norman invasion of 1066 and King William the Conqueror.
Most of the big land owners in the UK to this day can be traced back to the Norman conquest.
If you were going to consider the UK in its modern parliamentary form, you'd go back to the English civil war (1642-1651) where Oliver Cromwell overthrew King Charles I.

Yes, and I was asking a tangential question which was most prevalent to my own experiences and living situation.
The states have a very similar problem with law enforcement and placing their own cameras all over too. If anyone needs reference check out these Flock cameras.
