Several straw men. I'm sure you know the difference between standing on a opublic street and permitting your number to be listed in the white pages. By the logic in your post, you should never go outside before putting on a burqa.

While the information you list is considered public information, the presence of my face on a public street is a whole 'nuther level of public. I have had the peculiar pleasure of seeing my face on national TV because I wore it in public at an event; that the cameras were owned by WOOD-TV instead of the GRPD actually made my countenance more widely visible.

There is no difference between these cameras and having a cop standing on the streetcorner seeing you with his own eyes.

Well actually there is. For one thing a cop can't simply write down your license plate number and send you a ticket. The camera operators can.

The cop doesn't permanently record your action, the camera can. The cop can't follow you around watching everything you do, the cameras can. The cop can't see into your house, the camera can. The camera can even see through walls. In fact the edited camera's recording can even be a better liar than the cop.

The point you seem to be missing is that even though you may be innocent, if you let someone get too much information about you, they own you. That is why you don't freely give out your SS number and your bank account numbers. Those numbers certainly aren't private, and you didn't do anything wrong with them, so why not let anyone who wants to know them see them? What do you have to hide?

May you enjoy licking your Masters boot.
