I never perceived this could even be a possibility, I recall reading this in a bad sci-fi novel once and I thought it was dumb for a multitude of reasons:
- It’s extremely unlikely that there would be any benefit. Most people would have their devices in a bag or pocket.
- In cases such as an event where a terrorist attack occurred, there would likely be people recording it anyway and likely happy to had over their footage anyway.
- There is no piece of software out there which could accurately determine what devices are in a particular area.
- There is no government dumb enough to propose or support the ability to monitor citizens like this unless they are already in, or close to being in, a dictatorship.
And yet the justice minister thinks it is positive that this would “only be used dozens of times a year”
WTF.
