Because humans are irresponsible, quick to anger, and always want weapons, this is quite necessary. We see riots at soccer events, guns being shot for fun at random motorists, drug dealers selling disenfranchised people into more and more abusive slavery. Because people cannot be trusted with their freedom, this kind of omni-surveillance is looking more and more attractive. Nobody wants to be monitored 24/7, but since people won’t behave with even a modicum of decency - it is a necessity now. The more people abuse their freedom, the more freedoms get taken away. It has to be that way. Act like children, be treated like children. Perhaps constant surveillance is the best way to help prosecute people and stop this rampant escalation of crime.
People are not monitored 24/7 they are monitored when in public where there is an implied contract of society that we all work together…but some don’t. Most people don’t mind being watched in public if it means others around them are also watched to keep the common laws that run society. We even put cameras pointing out from houses to check. But inside the house we are not surveiled by cameras …that would be when it becomes intrusive.
Jesus Christ what is wrong with you fucking people? I used to joke that everyone on your island with an ounce of gumption came to the new world and that y’all were a nation of the descendants of servants and sheep herders but every day it becomes less and less of a joke. Pathetic.
I know we’re not currently monitored 24/7 and I’m glad we’re not, but I see a day coming when that may be inevitable if people keep engaging in online predation and in criminal activity. I guess they are monitored to some degree anyway, by certain websites. In a way I’m glad there are cameras out there to capture people doing horrible things, they have helped with solving some criminal cases. It’s kind of a double-edged sword.
