They are literally everywhere. I can't go any place without being watched. I just want some privacy. The most alarming part is that they put cameras on all entrances and exits so they can know who's entering or leaving. Why do they need to stalk me as I go about my day? The area I live in is overall pretty safe so I don't see the justification.

I have also noticed that some people actually feel safe where there are cameras. I get that people can get scared but I don't think creating a giant network of mass surveillance is the answer.

What is this dystopian future we have marched into.

They're horrific and apparently invisible to people. Any time I point them out I've been called crazy and told I was overreacting. Until driving around Illinois with a coworker when he started to understand the scale of it all. The more I see the more dizzying it becomes. There needs to be regulation for them
