This guy can go suck an egg..

He also added, “Let’s take Bandera back to 1880 properly. No double standards, no hypocrisy. If LPRs are ‘unconstitutional’ and invade our right to ‘public’ privacy, we need to be courageous enough to go all the way. I look forward to the ‘Privacy First’ crowd showing up to support these bans [...] just remember to leave your phones at home.”

It's not that difficult to see the difference between having the option to decide not to bring your phone if you don't want to be tracked, and not even getting an option to avoid AI-powered CCTV systems all over town.

Why don't they install a public CCTV camera in his toilet if he doesn't think privacy is important

He's lying. Or bullshitting. Whatever you call it when people say shit without any regard for the truth. Typical conservative slop.

They're a politician in Texas. The answer is all of the above. He probably diddles children on the side too
