Imagine you're tooling down the highway. Just you, your dog, and the purr of the lithium-ion battery. You're listening to a verboten antisemitic podcast. Nothing illegal, mind you, but guess what...the Flock and Axon and Motorola cameras have captured your license plate, your bumper stickers, and the cell signal carrying your podcast. All of which happens without your knowledge, until one day the pigs are at your door asking to talk to you about some "disturbing content" you recently listened to that activated their domestic terrorism alert system. You think this scenario is sci-fi. The realm of make-believe. It is not. It's already here, and very very soon it will be too entrenched to reverse it.
