Lowes and Home Depot have stepped up to partner with LEO in monitoring the public (people not suspected of a crime). The hardware chains have proactively funded and installed hundreds of Flock cameras.

The cameras exist to capture the faces and movements of the public w/o their consent. All of it flows into the databases that Flock maintains - primarily for LEO to access as it wishes.

Continuous monitoring of the public is about as much power as any authoritarian could ask for.
