This isn't about constant monitoring of people, it's about cars. I'm all for constant monitoring of cars within towns. They bully and intimidate and generally ruin places for everyone else. There needs to be strong incentives for people to not drive cars right into cities, with appropriate alternatives, of course.

I want to see much better parking on the outside of town with easy and safe travel to inside like light rail and bikes. All of this is possible if we take back what's been given to cars.

The biggest problem with drivers is they don't take responsibility for what they're doing. It creates a status quo where they feel empowered to do what they like and the rest of society bends to that. We have opportunity to force them to take responsibility which will reset that balance. It doesn't take much. When you realise you'll be driving at 20mph max and yielding priority to normal people everywhere driving suddenly won't seem so attractive. None of this is new restrictions on driving, it's just what they should have been doing anyway.

How do you feel about constant monitoring of trains or aeroplanes? If a train driver crosses a red signal it's straight to prison. When your actions can have such an impact on individuals and societies then your individual right to privacy is invalid.

It seems to me it is a probe.

If it is accepted for cars, then it moves on to people.

Then it is used by ICE to pay rewards for handing over people Donald has decided are illegal.

This is called the slippery slope fallacy. It is a fallacy for a reason.

Yes, care must be taken. These kinds of measures should only be taken when an existing power imbalance is already in place. We have laws to stop these imbalances, for example you can't use your might to force and coerce people. Do you think it's wrong for someone to be able to report an assault?

Cars are currently a huge power imbalance that needs to be evened out.

But, sure, some people will want to use the same technology to create new imbalances or further existing ones. That doesn't mean the technology itself is bad.
