re: #41 Charles Johnson

The difference, to me, is not in the technology, but the monitoring. You can’t actively zoom somewhere if you aren’t monitoring it all the time. Most public surveillance is not actively monitored. One of the things about the NSA data collection, that made it OK, was that the data being collected wasn’t being monitored by people, and in order to go deeper, you had to get a warrant. With this, someone may choose to monitor a person for no reason.
