    I would love for an AI machine to be all knowing and all pervasive. It honestly sounds like it could be great.

    would these help lead to more arrest if assaults were captured on the cameras

    It might also help find lost puppies, but that's not a good enough reason to give up any additional amounts of privacy to the megacorporations or to a police state.

    I don't know about you, but when I'm walking around all my phone camera sees is the inside of my pocket. Hands free stealth cameras seems like a perfectly reasonable place to draw the line.
