Just so that everyone is clear, this is not a program confined to L.A.

There's quite a few private firms that are collecting data who have sold it or are looking to sell it to anyone interested. You'll hear the argument "if you're out in public, you're susceptible to being recorded", but I feel like at some point we need to decide as a democracy where to draw the line.
