Do you think the same thing should apply to other civil servants, or just to elected officials and the police?

- krapp 10y agoElected officials and the police. But my assumption is everyone is going to be tracked anyway, to some degree. Basically, I think the cost of using facial recognition against the populace should be having it used against you. If the state is watching us, why can't we watch them back? This is an extension, and possible inversion, of Heinlein's axiom that "an armed society is a polite society." I would rather that society arm itself with information than with bullets.

- krapp 10y agoGood. They'll have to wear them everywhere. I feel like when that happens, we'll have won at least a moral victory.

- 794CD01 10y agoThe advance of technology makes it inevitable that it will apply to everyone, so it's pointless to worry about whether it should.
