    It’s a paradigm shift where we go from having an expectation of privacy even in public spaces to its inverse. Not only do we not have a right to privacy in public; we don’t even have a right to see ourselves as the government and police might see us — a set of still moments in place and time from which they, not us, can decide what our story is.

    What could possibly go wrong?

      an expectation of privacy even in public spaces

      Anyone with this expectation in a post-Patriot Act world has not been paying attention.
