What nuance though? Did everyone give the state permission to sniff after them? Because I did not. And I am almost certain a majority would not be ok with it either. There is a reason people hate flock sniffers.

When the people turn it around and sniff on cops, why is that then any different suddenly?

> we'd need actual legislation

Can the people do legislation? It's always some judges and politicians who form a clique at the end of the day.

There's no nuance because the power imbalance and overall context very obviously makes them fundamentally incomparable. What a weasel word
