    The left and the media is trying to make the cameras sound like a bad thing and they're trying to make the public thing negatively of them
    for 1 clear reason: they could be used by ICE.

    I think the real reason is: The Left doesn't control them. If they were in control of them, there would be no outcry from the Great Unwashed Masses.

    But they can be abused and misused, as we've seen recently. But those can be fixed with some human rules.

    That's part of it. They don't cry about it when it benefits them. And although I haven't figured this "outcry" out completely yet, I've found a few clues:

    1. Nobody ever complained about these cameras before.
    2. Nobody I know is complaining now.
    3. It's Bernie Sanders and AOC who are complaining specifically about feds using them.
