Now a days there's a high chance that you're being recorded with hidden cameras, think about it, they have to protect themselves and we're in 2021. You've probably walked through 5 different cameras just getting to the door

There was a case in the news a few years ago that caught my attention, where a trafficking victim said she was picked up at a coffee shop, taken to a hotel and later dropped off somewhere else. The prosecution was able to show video of the guy at every step of the way and at points in between.
Stepping out of your front door can put you on record from some neighbor's door bell cam across the street with a date and time-stamp. Stop for gas . . .same thing. Drop by at a drug store for "supplies" . . .same thing. Tak a toll road; you are on record.
In some municipalities and jurisdictions they follow license plates around with cameras and a computer data base.
This has all changed over the last ten years or so. Younger folks can't remember, but life used to be very different. Watch a few episodes of Perry Mason or Matlock and see the change in what is needed to prove a case.
