I don't think that the argument about hardware is "rather odd", I think it's the crux of the issue in Portland right now.
Our police bureau is terrorizing our citizenry before our eyes. So we brought cameras. So they covered their badges. So we started working on facial recognition. So they banned it.
If our eyes were sufficient to show the world what's happening and to document which cops are the most culpable, there'd be no hardware discussion at all.
