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.
