It's a stretch for sure.

I think the point is that it's a tradeoff of civil liberties in exchange for safety.

I think it's an interesting discussion and it's not clear to me what the right answer is.

Given the first amendment in the USA, i think once it's cheap enough everyone will be filming everyone all the time. Just look at how many people have ring doorbells.

The first amendment?? Is surveillance speech now? Lets add it to the list: money is speech, surveillance is speech, protesting is NOT speech. Anything I’m missing?
