A corpse is a corpse, of course, of course
And no one can talk to a corpse of horse
Unless of course upon the horse
The cast a Talk To Dead

Correct!

No, stop! Bad mutant! No cookie. This is what’s wrong with your thinking. You aren’t distinguishing between cameras pointed at the people and cameras pointed by the people.
This is a perfect example of why “slippery slope” arguments are bullshit. We can easily say as a society that body cams are good and C-Span is good, but cameras on every lamppost are bad. There’s no automatic progression from one to the other.
Just like punching up is not bullying, cameras pointed up are not leading to a surveillance state.

Had a philosophy/bio-ethics instructor who loved slippery-slope arguments! Applied them uniformly to “resolve” most of the courses head-scratchers. (a lot on euthanasia and use of cloned tissue). Again, i agree with most of your arguments, but still don’t quite get the ‘elevation’/“pointed up” of the camera distinction, i’ll assume it’s whether it’s pointed upwards in some “org chart” sense rather than 57 degrees [wink].
By the bye, i’m informed by my “tech philosopher” friend that i missed out the most important current scary use of social panopticon fears: recently Amazon was discovered to be turning over Ring[tm] doorbell cam footage to “the authorities”
