Constraining other peoples freedom, or otherwise possible ways to harm other people in any form is not included into the freedom people push for.

Your argument is kinda like saying if you prevent someone from hitting someone else your are against fredome because that person should be free to hit anyone they want to hit. Just that's a more subtle topic then hitting someone.

Your analogy isnt fair because we are talking about people doing things on private property, not violently assulting people.

“People doing things on private property” doesn’t quite capture it — we’re talking about creating a giant mesh surveillance network for the police state.

Until someone passes a law that permits the police to use this without permission and/or requiring people to own such devices, concern over this is hysteria.

No. A police state is a police state, even if some subset of the population decides they want it for whatever reason.

So brave to hide behind a throwaway.

I want the freedom to walk down my driveway and check my mail without being automatically recorded. That's the type of freedom being stepped on, here.

The irony of someone complaining about surveillance and throw aways in the same sentence.

Everything in your comment is an insult. That's probably why it's downvoted.
