Bold of you to assume that the US respects its Constitution!

This is pretty huge! Honestly surprised at the result.

Does this mean they have to shut down the flock cameras?

Nah, that's public space and such. Flock will need specific legislation to defeat which is a problem when most congress critters are bought and paid for.

Only if the gov't is using that data. Then that data is inadmissible in court and if used/abused can carry swift significant consequences. If private companies (aka gov't funded public troff whores) continue to abuse it, unless met with pushback by civil lawsuits, the abuse will continue.

I am surprised. A rare privacy win. Hopefully more follow.
