Think about this - eradicate privacy and you eradicate crime. |
Nonsense. Anyone could still snap and king hit a stranger outside a pub, or commit an act of domestic abuse, or drink-drive. Not all crime is premeditated, and even some premeditated crimes would still occur in a state without privacy (like if you just really really wanted to kill someone and didn't care about the consequences).
Also, keep in mind that even an 100% surveillance state could never have monitoring 100% of the time. How many people would you need to employ just to watch all the security cameras, listen to all the conversations and read all the emails? And how many subtle actions would still slip under the observers' noses? Think about the stuff that goes on in prisons despite all the monitoring.
No, to get rid of crime altogether you'd need to be eradicating freedom of thought. That's real dystopian stuff. |
OK, so there'd be exceptions, ones that will exist regardless of what you do.
But all other crime gone. And it doesn't even need full on surveillance.
