This probably won&#x27;t be a popular opinion on Hacker News, but it is it possible to compromise with a limited amount of mass surveillance?<p>I believe it was LA that had a plane fly above the city and record 24&#x2F;7. It was just enough resolution to make out cars and people, but not identify anyone. Less invasive than security cameras in that sense. And I don&#x27;t think it was live. It was just something the police could go back to and look at after a crime as committed, and see where the criminals went or came from.<p>Given some conditions, like the recordings be deleted after a few days, and that it requires a warrant to look at, I think that would be ok.
