That's what the councilman said. All other context was clipped. As far as I can find, the rest of the 8 minute video is the host going on about that statement.
Is it incorrect? Judge for yourself. But the headline, "Politician calls constituents criminals with no right to privacy" is obviously false.
I'd assume they'd just do like European politicians do (so I hear), and advocate solely for privacy for politicians, not others. (advocate, as in write bills excluding themselves from being monitored)
he would not. he would direct police to arrest anyone involved, or random people if the culprits can't be found, then spin it into a need for stricter surveillance on people's personal computers so they can't violate the privacy of public servants. like the gentleperson below has said, but worse
If we’re here (buying another layer of the panopticon) then the next logical step is to create an ADSBexchange-like citizen network, and let people track back.
You can already slap together something with an RTSP stream and Frigate on an individual level. Some people have great views of the road, and some people could just count cars.
Frankly, I can see a lot of benefits for citizens if they could understand and verify which locations police enforce with their physical presence.
As an aside, where the public transparency and oversight for these schemes? It seems like such a powder keg.

Show the same politician himself coming home as recorded by his Ring camera. He will suddenly become biggest privacy proponent in the whole country.

I expect there will eventually be enough cameras publicly streaming public spaces for anyone to be able to track any vehicle anywhere.
