Well free speech is free speech. Free recording of everything you or I do anywhere by anyone . . .that is something else, isnt it?

Is it free speech for Amazon Alexa to record anything in your home. Is it free speech for anyone to drone record your activities. I dont know - this seems to become Orwellian at some point. That is what we are talking about right - recording? Not speech?

There is a right place for recording like lawful police action (where necessary sanctioned by courts). But are facing a bigger question. If I have drones with advanced surveillance equipment, is it ok for me to follow and record your every action (maybe even phone conversations)? This is the new norm with protestors throwing up cell phones at every altercation, right? Why not a persistent drone? What is the difference?

This is where I have to throw up my hands too. I want myself and my daughters to be able to sunbathe on our property, well removed from any public vantage point, without worrying about our neighbor flying a drone 5 km in to get some sweet internet karma point pictures.

In the public sector, I think many people have the expectation of polite ignoring. You see someone, you acknowledge their existence, and then you ignore what they're doing. No following them around all creepy like.
