> Automated logging of people in public places is dystopian

You went from recording license plates on public roads to logging people in public places.

If someone steals my car, I would want to be able to give police my license plate and have them track down the person very easily by all the cameras on public roads. This is not dystopian. This is what an orderly society should look like.

You're talking about children and random stuff that's completely irrelevant. If you can't or refuse to see that, I can't convince you.
