Considering there are self driving cars, private surveillance systems ought to be able to discern if someone is on the public right of way or not. Anything done in a public space short of actually breaking the law cannot be considered as suspicious enough to warrant notifying anyone.

Amazon lies. Repeatedly. Endlessly. Much like Facebook and a few others I could think of.
