nah man, you haven't sold out - you're just a dad now who gives a shit. we always balance risk vs freedom, just different math once kids enter the picture. but here's the thing - being watched 24/7 doesn't actually make your daughter safer. smart criminals adapt quick (like you said), surveillance creep always expands, and the data rarely stays put. maybe consider privacy *as* safety - for her future. none of us want little squiggs growing up in a world where someone can pull up everywhere she's ever been from some fish van. strong communities > cameras, every time.
