I keep thinking how laws rely way to much on hard coded values.
Privacy laws should really switch on and off depending on how much citizens trust their government. IOW I have no objection to even the most draconian spying if the voter trusts the government 100%.
Likewise, the amount of crime that could be prevented with a technology should also play a role. If there are 50 robberies per month in a street it is a good idea to plaster it with cameras, spin up a server and give law enforcement access 24/7. At 500 robberies you should also put guns on the cameras. For one every 1-5 years a patrol car is enough.
