There's a fine line where the upholding of laws crosses between the parameters of objectivity and subjectivity. Like how virtually anyone can get pulled over for no good reason other than the cop feels like asking them how much they've had to drink or that they were going 3 miles over the speed limit.

It's not just the fact that someone is watching you, if you take it for face value no big deal. But just imagine how "how many drinks you take" can be spun when someone wants to put you away.

It's a terribly pesimistic view of how the world runs, though. Not everyone is out to get you. But I also don't think that having that any human will manage that type of information or power well.
