And I’m saying that in many states your lack of consent doesn’t matter (legally speaking). Your consent is not required if someone else decides to record with their device.
I don’t like it. Just stating that you declining to consent does nothing if someone else records you and gives the recordings to the police. That’s not a search of you or your possessions, that’s a search of someone else’s recording that did not require your consent to be made.
None of this is new, just increasingly insidious and ubiquitous.
That ship has sailed. Some states have been issuing them since 2012. Multiple political leaders from both sides opposed it: both Clintons, Ron Paul, Mike Huckabee, Obama. And advocacy groups on both sides opposed it: guns rights activist to immigrant rights activists to domestic violence aid groups. Too little, too late to swim against the post-9/11 security theater that George W Bush used to speedrun introducing so many bad things.
And the “what ifs” you presented are far from the worst they can do with it
