5. I sort of thought so. I have no local initiatives this time.

Re: Proposal 2 - I never thought of that, probably because I don't use a cell phone for anything other than having a Tracfone in my car for emergencies.

I was thinking more along the lines of if these Qanon/militia types or mass shooters are planning something and the authorities want to monitor them to ward off a disaster, I'm all for that. Or if they want to see who all are involved in a child trafficking ring it would be advantageous (aka Epstein).

On this issue, I seem to be able to see both sides of it. The police in this country have become so corrupted that I look at everything through that scenario, but they haven't always been so militant.

P.S. I think people would be foolish to think there is anything "private" about what they do on their cell phones these days.
