How about the massive opportunity for surveillance? Roving robo-cop cars on dual-use contracts, parking, observing, instantly connecting to a remote operator when a violation is detected. Easily reduces the requirements to be a police officer to somewhere near "can you stare at a computer screen?". In places where the "speed cams" went down in flames (~70% of the vote against where I live) I'm more optimistic the people wont tolerate it, but god help the nanny states. Just to be clear, I sincerely appreciate the dedicated and excellent police out there, many of them share my views on the "speed cams", robo-cops etc.

Yes Will consumers use such technology increasingly more, esp as cost and availability of it increases? Yes. Will non state actors have eve more ability to use/exploit such tech for their own purposes? Yes. What people will do combat such? Who knows, though I know showing up to a voting booth wont change much in the scheme of things…
