I'm not advocating for the death of privacy but, to me, the writing is on the wall. Technology makes it feasible and the political and economic benefits are too great and too many people are apathetic or complacent.
> But there is still plenty of privacy left in our personal lives.
This is unsupportable IMO as nearly everyone is carrying supercomputers with advanced sensors programmed to surveil them, etc. The battle for privacy was over when the microchip was invented.

> Crime never disappears completely, it just pivots to operating within the current enforcement model.
That may not be true, I say let's find out, since we're losing our privacy anyway.
> See: Minority Report.
No, that's fiction. It's good, have you read it? But it's really more about the meta-physics of free will than anything to do with actual IRL surveillance and policing.
> The police destroying a house for fun, discussed upthread, is a good real-world example as well.
That's also crime. The sensors and computers are a given, the policy isn't (note the similarity of that word to "police"? That's not a coincidence.)
