Well, this blows the “if you’ve not done anything wrong, you have nothing to worry about” argument out of the water.
That argument was only ever made by dumb fucks or evil fucks. The article reports about an actual occurrence of one of the problems of such technology that we (people who care about privacy) have warned about from the beginning.

Gotta say, I don’t think Officer Chauvin is going to take well to your request.
The US killed that argument a long time ago. We shot it in the back and claimed it had a gun.
