Wait A Minute, I Thought You Wanted This?

This use of intrusive technology makes a mockery of our right to privacy – and feeling monitored can cause us to change what we do, where we go and who we go with.
And some of these surveillance tools discriminate against people and cause the police to unjustifiably target certain groups and communities.
Are we talking about CCTV? Algorithm-led targeting?
Police body worn video cameras can record in private spaces and could be used alongside technologies like facial recognition to identify and track people in real time.
But...but I thought you wanted these to ensure the police didn't 'step out of line'?

What happened? Did you realise they would also show how your 'clients' behave towards the police...?

Liberals always support the cause of evil. It's their true north. Back in the day they could use the lack of cameras to claim the police had something to hide. Now they have cameras - and consequently, the shocking revelation that the people liberals have been taking out an onion out for all these years are exactly who the right said they were - they're against cameras.

They're perfectly consistent providing you look at the consequences of their positions not just what they say.

It's a delicious case of getting what you wanted, good and hard...
