> “If you’re not doing anything illegal, why worry about it?” said long-time Jacumba resident Allen Stanks, 70.

Glad to see they dug out the most intelligent person to react to this information. It's also incredibly funny because the opposite should also apply to the government; if they're not doing anything illegal then they should have no need to hide their local surveillance network inside of abandoned trailers or other items. Just another reason to toss on the pile for dismantling CBP.

I loved Mr. Stanks follow up of "Privacy?! Why, you post your food on Facebook!". Because what I had for supper and where I've travelled during the day are on exactly the same level of privacy and concern. I have to assume that in the reporter's attempt to have a voice from the pro side and the con side, the best they could find was "if you're not doing anything illegal...".

It's the privacy equivalent of "She was dressed skimpy in that part of town"

that's kinda silly because someone may deduce where you've been from a photo at a restaurant

I swear editors intentionally go with the dumbest takes to get rage engagement.

I don't like it but I can kind of understand hiding it. People change their behavior if it's obvious.
