I can definitely see use cases where cameras that detect distressed people can help prevent harm from them and others.

Stop resisting! We detect you are depressed and will take action!

I know of at least one person whose life was saved because of wearable techs ability to recognize when someone is undergoing emotional stress.

Do I want cameras all over society tracking emotions? Probably not. But there’s a baby somewhere in that bath water.
