Big Brother is shouting at you

Let me clarify. While on the surface it might not seem so bad, it starts a chain that snowballs. One small intrusion leads to another small one, and 20 or 40 years in the future we've ended up with a society that we would never accept today.

So, basically anyone with a functioning brain would think it is a bad idea. However, the idiots of this world would be unable to fully grasp its future machinations.

Agreed. Which is why we must help those less fortunate than ourselves.

Maybe no one wants to listen to that reason because you're telling them they're idiots if they don't?

But I'm also offering them help...

The problem with the whole 'if you having nothing to hide, then who cares' train of thought is that if that's the case then why should you be watched in the first place?

Also, without going over-board, measures like this do have a tendency of becoming more intrusive as they are gradually accepted.

True, that does tend to happen.

Anyways, that comment is more directed at people who really have nothing to hide. That's not saying that there aren't people who do need to be watched and prevented from criminal activities.
