It's getting pretty crazy out there. What's your recourse for this? Avoid most populated areas?

Work with your municipality to pass laws banning cameras like this. I'm sure it isn't easy (and I'm not sure I have the stomach for working through that process in my city), but people have done it in some places.

deflock.me has a map. (I recently contributed a few flock cameras I spotted.)

I notice they generally watch busy roads and intersections, off and on ramps to highways, retail malls…

Smaller roads through neighborhoods were mostly unmolested.

It's a quality of people problem not a quantity of people problem.
