All kinds of minor things will become a crime.

The automated systems will be too rigid, as they are stuffed to the brim with rules and regulations to enforce without fair human judgment.

You accidentally drop your handkerchief, or the wind blows your cigarette butt from your hand? Bam.. littering, $50 fine and your credit score goes down a notch.

Freedoms will be diminished. You are in a hurry, there is no traffic at all and your destination is 50 yards away. Do you cross the street? You can't. That's jaywalking, $100 bucks fine. You'll have to walk a mile and use the nearest traffic light. Oh, and your credit score is lowered for being late at an appointment.
