Carpenter v. United States and the supporting opinion written by John Roberts in 2018 reaffirms that ongoing electronic surveillance requires a search warrant and constitutes a violation of the 4th amendment.
I don't live in the US, but it seems that constant monitoring via government sanctioned facial recognition technology falls under that umbrella.
I've yet to hear a convincing connection between driving down a public road and having privacy - in fact, the outside of a registered motor vehicle on a public road is about as non-private as you can expect.
You already have a unique plate tied to the registered owner of the car, and a range of court cases have held you can be stopped, ordered out of the car, questioned (by both police and immigration enforcement), etc.
"Right to privacy" isn't a specific right in the US. Furthermore, being in the middle of a public roadway in a registered vehicle shouldn't confer the expectation of privacy, per Katz. Probably the closest case law is Carpenter, which only covers cell data and was specifically meant to apply narrowly to that type of info.
"The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures" in case you forgot.
I'm not saying you have to reply in a technical term - just explain how being seen and recorded driving down a public street, in a vehicle that's required to display an identifiable plate you've registered with the government, constitutes a search, seizure, or even an invasion of your privacy.
Nobody's saying you have to install a camera outside your house (ignoring the dozens of cameras your neighbors have willingly installed to replace their doorbell or to deter theft/burglary). But you can't argue that the government or private businesses can't deploy cameras because you expect privacy in the middle of a road.
Useless because everyone around you genuinely thinks differently from you? Or useless because said 70+ yo retired asset owners with more means to vote without more than the working class?
Big difference in issue. You can't gerrymander a local bill so those kinds of votes are arguably more important than nationals. And you'd be surprised how big a difference a visit with a few dozen of your peers can make to a townhall meeting. That's something we seem to forget until our backs are truly to a wall.
Weird how people view "Americans" as different species. Never have I seen someone say "Europeans", "Germans"...
"These Americans", "Modern Americans".
The term is "nationality", it describes a person's legal bond and citizenship tied to a specific country, usually gained by birth or naturalization.
If you have never heard of that before then someone failed you during your education.
What right does a Flock camera violate?

Not American, but
1. I don't think Texas was around during the Tea Party, and
2. Property is also a right, so this is just about how much privacy you are willing to sacrifice for how much property.

Right to privacy, is this not mega-obvious?

Ok, it's not called a "right", it's the fourth amendment, and federal statutes and state laws and whatnot.
You got me there, pal ;) I didn't use the exact technical terms you expected, my argument is now void, nooo.
I guess I should go and install one of those cameras right outside my house now.

Because many people agree with having cameras to help reduce/monitor crimes.
From their views, the right isn't trampled. It's a win
Over a tea tax without representation. Very common to forget that part!
Do 84 year olds on life support count as representation?
According to voting turnout: yes. That's the thing the 70+ year old voterbase learned from their peak working year.
And yet there are still so many working class people who try to profess how "voting is useless, it doesn't change anything".
In American style representative democracy there certainly are places where voting is useless depending on your political affiliation.
Useless because everyone around you genuinely thinks differently from you? Or useless because said 70+ yo retired asset owners with more means to vote without more than the working class?

Only if you are too stubborn to register as the dominant party and vote in the primary.
Yep. We asked for the nightmare we've brought upon ourselves
