A warrant-like system? No, it looks like the cops just have to ask your paranoid gun-nut neighbor before they can get the videos. That's a far cry from a judge and the judicial scrutiny, legal protections, etc. that a warrant entails.



They can already do that. They've always been able to do that. Consent circumvents nearly all legal protections.


Sure! But it's not a warrant-like system.

That's the part I was referring to. Anyone can provide footage from their cameras if they want.
