8. So. We get the modern Panopticon.

Read some of the novels by John Twelve Hawks.

Being survived constantly may give you the illusion of being safer, but what it actually does is remove your privacy. The women beaten up in London were no safer with the cameras that London has everywhere. Maybe it makes the cops easier to find the felons. Maybe not. What they do is to make sure that all the public things the Brits do is on camera.

"If I'm not doing anything wrong, I don't care if they're watching me." OK, well you OK with police walking into your house and searching without a warrant? Probably not.
It's a real slippery slope.

Consider it.
