Thanks for clarifying. I watched that film (though a long time ago), and I’m familiar with the issue. In my mind, coordinated surveillance by the state or any single entity is highly undesirable, but is a different concern. Surely if one can be held liable for, e.g., using a visible act of filming in an attempt to make someone [physically stronger or better equipped] stop breaking the law, one may end up feeling fairly powerless in a variety of situations.
