You listed voyeurism and RAPE. I'll take one less rapist on the streets thank you very much.

People who give up privacy for security will get neither.

You think we should just let sex offenders roam the streets without apprehending them? Or it's only OK if you spent a lot of money to apprehend them, rather than picking people from a camera feed?

The minimum standard for a "sex offence" in the UK seems to include [0] "Sharing or threatening to share intimate photograph or film" and "Sending etc photograph or film of genitals". Which (1) don't do either of those things. Ew. and (2) In a practical sense they can be pretty harmless. Maybe a fine or a strongly worded letter would be appropriate in more serious cases.

So there isn't any problem, in the abstract, with some sex offenders wandering the streets.

I don't think I said either of those things.
