That's true, but it's not just about doing wrong things. There ought to be probable cause for recording by an authority of the state. It also has to be targeted

That's true, but it's not just about doing wrong things. There ought to be probable cause for recording by an authority of the state. It also has to be targeted and not done in a dragnet fashion. The police have significant discretionary powers on their side and the body of law is wide enough to "find something" against just about anyone. If you are in favor of mass surveillance, you should at least argue for a drastic simplification and excision of laws from the books.
