Is this something that will eventually spread to every single democracy? In a vacuum it does not sound that awful. You can identify illegal actions and individuals rapidly and effectively. As democracy entails a regular shifting of individuals, it seems that the chances of any given democracy choosing to consistently reject such utility in the longrun approaches zero. Even if the vast majority oppose it, opinions quickly change after a frightful act when whatever minority seeks to act such systems can effectively leverage the fear to achieve their goal.
And if the answer to this question is yes, then where does it end? Or will democracies invariably end up sacrificing any and all freedoms and rights of privacy, that can be sacrificed, in the name of security?
