Modern systems have evolved from simple recorders into AI-driven data collection hubs, introducing new privacy risks:
: As of January 2026, 20 U.S. states have enacted comprehensive privacy laws (such as new provisions in Oregon and Utah) that restrict how geolocation and biometric data from these devices can be sold or used. II. Technological Risks and "Surveillance Creep"
