Nobody can afford the huge army required to put every person under continuous surveillance.
I'm not for or against but I can tell you that AI models can scan thousands of frames per second and flag up anyone who appears to be holding a cellphone while driving, for instance. Then the onus is on you to prove that you were actually holding a candy bar, or whatever.
The AI can scan oodles of images, and conclude what? A cellphone while driving is pretty penny-ante. But you would be in the wrong, so what is the injustice? How would that be any different from a traffic cop seeing it? It wouldn't be any different, and you would be in traffic court anyway, explaining your point of view. So, the example goes nowhere. It just recreates the same situation with organic eyeballs instead of electronic ones.
I've gotten nailed by traffic cameras that catch my license plate and speed, and I have been in the wrong (not meaning to be, but that doesn't count). So, I pay the fine, and remember where that spot is. Life goes on. I don't lose a second of sleep over the question of being "tracked." There is no possibility I was in the right on exceeding the speed limit near a school. Sometimes, you just have to suck up the possibility of being caught in an infraction.
