> People either have privacy in public or they do not

Thankfully, the law isn't as overly simplistic and black and white as that. It'd be very stupid if it were. We have the ability maintain a general principal like "there's no expectation to privacy in public" and still prohibit certain things that are deemed harmful, like taking upskirt photos of people while they are in public spaces.

> nuance for me but not for thee

If you're going to argue platitudes from altitude, you don't get to retreat to the comfort of circumscribed exceptions.

Nobody is talking about cops or flock cameras taking upskirt photos.
