A lot of small towns never installed the surveillance beyond a few old ladies. There are plenty of small towns with tiny populations that would love for people to move in and have no intention of ruining their neighbors lives.

Of course the idea isn’t perfect but the visual imagery people imagine suggests otherwise. People are enjoying their youth dumping data to be resold not because they can’t do anything about it but because there has been no consequences yet. That changes when your data is a direct pipe to law enforcement.

The entire thing is a illogical reaction, surveillance and moving away.
