Privacy vs Justice
Imagine if our every move was monitored and recorded with pinpoint accuracy with the latest tech in 2060. Every criminal act would be caught in 4K. People would have zero privacy and full and swift justice.
Would you allow it to champion justice, or would you choose privacy instead?

I would opt for privacy at the risk of injustice because sometimes good or neutral deeds can be open to misinterpretation. Although transparency is trust as well because if all intention could be inferred from the beginning crime rates would dramatically drop.
I imagine AI woudl be able to do it based on parameters set up by some committee /government
Too many quesions inherent in this small sketch. I'm not all that interested in privacy or freedom as a themes so these sorts of scenarios don't set me off the way they do libertarian types.
What does:

mean?
If you are talking about a dystopia with instant death sentences, then perhaps not, hey?
States can be and often are wrong. This type of surveillance would give states an enormous amount of power to enforce their preferred flavor of wrong.
At first glance, since the vast majority of folks are not Professional criminals, it might seem like a win, since: "it won't impact me". But 24/7 means, adultery would be found out immediately, no tax cheating, no speeding, no parking 10 minutes beyond what you paid for, no badmouthing your boss behind his back, etc. Everyone is subject to that sort of thing, perhaps many times a day, every day. I'll pass.
