Except that what we are talking about here is a technology that will enable the government to park an invisible police car outside your house and watch (and record) it continuously, and to simultaneously track (and record) everywhere you go when you leave it.
Yes, good point. We should also remember that these things will drop off in cost dramatically over the next few years. So, while the government could never pay enough officers’ salaries to do general surveillance of the citizenry 24 hours a day, they WILL be able to afford swarms of drones to accomplish the same task.
