Wait what? I don't understand. How does this fuck us?

There's some way this fucks us that I'm not seeing.

I imagine its becasue the powers that be are confident they dont need a warrant to track you when youve agreed to everything in the privacy policy and given up your rights anyway sorta thing.

And if you didnt, your neighbor did. Or if yourneighbord didnt, then the local office/school/police department did for you.

Or like some sort of 'we can just start offering general 4the amendment passes to cops'

I'd like to see how this affects Flock and other LPR camera systems that track everyone who drives, rides, or walks by.

Bet one of the justices was reading up on the grindr privacy surveillance policy and had an oh shit moment.
