Plenty of rural places like that. Many on HN would call them unregulated shitholes but it's not hard to find a place where police are an hour drive away and the residents are expected for better or worse to handle our own business.

We like it that way, and we're glad the others feel unwelcome here.

I think that ship has sailed. Our internet traffic has been hoovered up at the telco for decades (and shared with several other governments), our cars tell half a dozen "partners" which businesses we visit, our phones keep track of who we are in proximity to and report it all back to the world's largest ad company, and opening a brokerage account to buy stock involves scanning both my face and driver's license, but this is what would be going too far? Using drones to look at loud noises that might be gunshots?

They’d be insistent on you enjoying surveillance, too.
