We can make up plenty of scenarios where it's dangerous, but even without those, can we not just... not like something? To use the common analogy, my neighbor staring at me through the window all the time wouldn't be dangerous. But it's weird, it's uncomfortable. Can we just not do it? I want to be able to drive places without my movements being logged. Clearly many millions of people agree, given the backlash against Flock. This isn't some essential technology, we got along just fine without it.
I would also like it if people would wake up to their phones tracking them, etc, and demand that laws be passed to deal with that. But this is a good start!
It's easy to work people up about anything involving monitoring, their brains immediately shut down and think emotionally about the subject. But not all forms of monitoring are equivalent, and some of it is useful and has net-benefit.
Maybe it's easy to work people up about it because people don't like being monitored.
I agree it's not all equivalent and some of it is useful, but people have clearly made their voices heard that they think blanket license plate recording is excessive and makes them uncomfortable. Perhaps society will listen.
Regardless, I'm not sure where you're going with this. The Tiktokers actually going out and cutting down cameras are probably 0.01% of the "vaguely mad at Flock/ALPR" group.
People in former communist countries and other oppressive places often have a different attitude about such things. They learned the hard way.
