I for one welcome our fact-focused overlords.


The problem is that everyone is guilty of something. The laws are so complex that it's impossible to not be in a violation of something at any given time. Once surveilance becomes ubiquitous, your only choices are 1) put everyone in prison 2) enforce laws selectively. 2) is of course leading to totalitarianism, where no one is ever innocent - I'm from Poland where the secret police during communism operated on this exact principle. No one is innocent - they just haven't been found guilty yet.
