I remember a while back Apple filed a patent that allows concerts to disable iPhones cameras if a certain signal is emitted from the stage. Apple never implemented this, but my pessemistic ass always try to think of worse case scenarios, like being used by government. Do you think this could occur in the future?

You can search “Apple Concert Disable Camera” and find more about it.
Has anyone done this for the existing traffic light priority sensors? If the signal is “having extremely bright blue flashing lights in a public space” then you can understand why people would be nervous about using that signal.
