Ate at Il Piatto in Washington DC. Noticed the policy while walking in and thought that’s fine I normally tip that. The food was absolutely amazing as well as the drinks and was thinking about an additional tip but this turned me completely off and I thought it was scummy to intentionally cross out the part of the policy stating “tips are not expected” with a little smiley face.

Educate your neighbors not to fall for this Orwellian BS. It will be used as a stepping stone to further infringe on your constitutional rights and control you. It will not prevent crime. It may or may not help arrest people who may or may not have committed a crime.

Don't trust the language here - "police can contact you to check for footage during an incident in your area." Soon they'll ask for more access, and we don't know how the footage will be used. Maybe it will be used to track peaceful protestors, or immigrants, as Flock is doing already.

Never talk to the police. Invoke your 5th amendment rights, shut the f up, and only talk to your lawyer if you're arrested.
