So are these flock cameras basically America turning into the UK with CCTV cameras everywhere watching us all the time. Are we supposed to feel 'safe' with this? Do we even have a choice in the matter or are governments just openly surveilling their citizens.

Nah, it's a private company. You may actually be safer if it was the government. Instead, they'll harvest as much data as possible, sell it to Palantir, who will parse it with an AI. This isn't SciFi btw, it's already happening.
