Good but don't exempt the government. Many local cities are building out vast networks. Including my very own Miami Beach Police Department.
If you're out in public then what privacy are you expecting?

#12I don't think this sort of thing is constructive. Biometrics is GOING to happen. I'd rather companies be (potentially) honest, rather than move on the next thing and not publicize it.
Since when has a for profit corporation been completely honest with the public, especially when it comes to something as controversial as this.

Well, if it's BANNED we KNOW they'll lie about it.

1. What one expects != what one thinks is right.
2. I suppose you would be ok, then, with a police officer tailing you everywhere you go, recording everything you do, everywhere you go, everything you say, and to whom, peering in the windows of your home if you forget to keep your blinds drawn? Just in case that information happens to be useful to a government at some point in the future?

There are processes to punish people and companies if they violate a ban and get found out. Works for theft, murder and other things.

Doesn't really work for corporations. (See: Dieselgate). They don't get caught for years, if ever.

I'd expect the same privacy we were getting before such technology came along.
Which is none? Anyone can walk up to you on the street and take your picture.
And I'd be fine with that whenever that would happen by a person organically making the decision to do so.
