When every second of your life is recorded and might have to be accounted for -- what a burden.
And we already know how hard it can be, at times, to explain a moment of strange-looking but innocent behavior to police.
All the more so if you are an unfavored, targeted minority (of whatever form: Race, class, intellect, psychology...).
It's not just the recording. It's what people in power (of various sorts) may do with it.
You know how you don't like it when a stranger in your vicinity seems to take an unusual interest in you?
This. All the time.
Discretion gets driven out of the equation, when there's a permanent record that anyone might use, at any time, rather than a momentary decision that passes, by those in one's presence.
