> It is too easy to get accused of something. And you have no evidence to defend yourself. If you keep video recording of your surroundings forever, you now have evidence.

This assumes that you have access to those recordings. If you're live-logging your life via something you're wearing all day every day, maybe - but if the government decides to prosecute you for something, what are the odds that you'll be able to pull exonerating evidence out of the very system that's trying to fuck you?

Even if a system doesn't care, it's still a hassle. Case in point: https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/michigan-s...

> An African American man who was wrongly convicted of a fatal shooting in Michiganin 2011 is suing a car rental company for taking seven-years to turn over the receipt that proved his innocence, claiming that they treated him like “a poor black guy wasn’t worth their time”.

I found this article while looking for another story that's virtually identical; I believe in that one it was a gas station receipt that was the key in his case, and he ended up spending very minimal time in jail.

How many people are in jail now because they weren't able to pull this data?
