If everyone being able to record anyone in public is the way we get people to stop acting like assholes to each other, Im all for it.

I think a single trip down Reddit's r/PublicFreakout should be enough to convince you that the ubiquity of cameras doesn't stop people from acting like assholes.
Thats a small minority of incidents. There are a lot more day to day behaviors that people do that are inconsiderate, and if there is a chance of you getting on video, being identified and losing your job, Im all for it. There is no immediate reward for acting good, and very little to no punishment for acting like an asshole.

Good thing you've never done anything in your life that could be construed as inconsiderate, so this wouldn't affect you.

I'm not. It would make me avoid being in public places.
And if more people had the same mentality, it would be great.
