Suppose I'm a rancher and want to monitor my herd that's feeding in a distant pasture. Perhaps I want to automate gates, refill feed or watering troughs as needed, etc. I want to know if any animals are sick. I want to know if rustlers are sneaking off with them.

Finest kind, as they say in Vermont or some other rustic region. Have at it.

Now, suppose that rancher gets himself elected to office, and now he has a different herd he wants to monitor...for all the same perfectly praiseworthy, "justifiable" reasons.
