So, where does it end? If the cops crash in to your car, even if they aren't pursuing you, they won't pay for repairs. If they remote disable your car and it turns out they weren't after you and it borks your car electronically, what makes you think they will pay for repairs? A bad guy, driving a certain model of car similar to yours, needs to have his car killed. They send out a "kill all" command and get your car, that would suck, huh? All the above examples is a violation of something, if not privacy. And who's to say they all aren't possible in the near future? So what if you spent $35K on your vehicle and they infiltrate it, it's not really yours anyway, right? (sarcasm intended)

Government overreach and the surveillance state don't end willingly. Amassing power is a dangerous thing, those in charge will keep doing it as long as they can get away with it. I think the real question is how long can this go on before the people have no way to stop it if they wanted to.

  Killer robots. Call me nuts, but then smart autonomous killing machines appear, which don't require human control (so zero empathy), then it will come, slowly. It's already hard to protest against anything with police in control, and when army steps in they can take complete control (see army coups in some other countries). Taking humans and their 'silly' empathy out of the equation would just make that even easier. Just don't cause too much unrest at once. And some countries already can't be stopped. See Russia, a mafia state. They just beated protests until 'morale improved'.
