If it was that simple, I would applaud the new era of surveillance. Unfortunately, some people will be above the law, while others will be subjected to it.
If privacy laws were actually repealed, and everyone saw what everyone else was doing, it might not be so bad. It’s the unfairness of it that really stinks.
This is a big problem, but hardly the only one.
There’s plenty of things illegal in various places right now which I don’t believe should be illegal. And some other things which were illegal and socially unacceptable when I was young and which are now not only perfectly legal but also socially normalised such that having a problem with it marks one as a bigot.
But even for the things which I do wish to remain illegal, almost all of them will need significantly reduced penalties in a world of omniscient surveillance.
To give a specific example of how the status quo would break if we had perfect surveillance but didn’t change anything else: In the UK, the minimum penalty is a £100 fine and 3 points on your license, and if you get 12 points within a 3 year period you can be disqualified from driving. Enforce that perfectly, how fast would everyone in the UK lose their licenses?
