I do know.

I do not want to live in a society that is under 24/7 surveillance. Of course, if the cops can watch everything you do all the time, there will be less crime. But that is not a sacrifice I’m willing to make.

I disagree there. If cops watch us at all times then more crimes will be prosecuted, think they'll just sit bored with nothing happening? They will find things, real or not.

The reality is that crime is way down, we do not need more enforcement. Leave us alone already. https://www.opencrime.us/years

Cool, I choose to live in a highly policed neighborhood with well funded police. Essentially a gated community.

You can enjoy your "freedom", but based on the real estate prices, I think more people have my preference.
