That’s not the point. The point is we shouldn’t have to.

Mics can collect voiceprints. It’s like the police dusting for your fungerprints wherever you go. Which, if they had a warrant and cause, fair enough, but everyone 24/7? Seems like a privacy invasion to me.

Yeah and where are you more likely to talk about sensitive information, at home or outside next to a busy street?

Er, outside in a busy street. Isn’t that tradecraft 101?

But, the police have other ways these days
