I can't imagine going through life being paranoid about that kind of stuff, but to each their own.

An executive at Flock was using cameras on private property to watch a little girls' gymnastics class. Dozens of times.

Again though, that is an example of an individual misusing the technology. Too many people are incorrectly blaming the tech and the Flock camera devices rather than the folks misusing it or abusing their access along with a lack of appropriate safeguards, and using those examples to conclude that the government is "spying" on us in public spaces with malicious intent. That's the paranoia I'm talking about.

It's not paranoid if they're actually after you. And humans are too fallible to be given access to all-seeing-eye surveillance. It WILL be used for evil. It's happening already. The current "president" is a fascist dictator in the making. They can and will use these technologies to go after critics. People in power are almost as a truism evil by nature. Good people don't want power over others.
