alt Hacker NewsWhy stop at the public? Crimes are committed in private too, you know. I have an idea — let’s increase the scope of surveillance to private activities as well. If everyone is surveilled, then really, no individual person is surveilled, right? This only works if we install surveillance everywhere though, with no exceptions.
Because that's not what I'm for. Goal post shifter. A lot of crimes people travel to a private location by going through public places. Perhaps when we have Star Trek transporters we'll need to go in that direction.
Which is actually a thing in Star Trek - they literally solve crimes by tracking exactly where people are and check transporter logs for where people go.
