Tesla has had its fair share of controversies.

The Cyber Truck, for example, seems to have been scribbled by Elon onto a napkin with no other plans for how it would work, or stop, or…truck.

But this particular issue may be less Tesla-specific and more an indication of where we’re headed generally, as documented by TikTok user @notshaqlauren:

“No one tells you when you get a Tesla,” she says from her living room,

“That you’re basically gonna work part time for the police department.”

“This is the ninth time that cops have come to my door, and I look on the ring doorbell and I’m like – what the heck?”

“And then they’re like ‘hey, something happened out there, did your car catch anything?

Can we look at your car footage?'”

“No.”
