How about known criminals. More cameras owned and controlled (for real) by individuals is enough. I have heard about massive improvements in public safety in places where people have Ring, or similar things. I'm not too keen on Amazon being an operator, as unfortunate as it would be if they were judged for things they don't do, it'd be worse if it turned out to be a genuine dragnet.
Nonetheless, I'm not anti surveillance, provided it's up to individual and business location operators to disseminate or not (except by subpoena). I plan on installing more surveillance cameras.
Not only the politicians themselves could be monitored, but also their families, children, life partners…
Though, it could create two worlds. The area around the policitian's houses, that would be clean of cameras, and the others, infested by cams.
In the end we have psychopaths owning democracy and until this is resolved (which it might never be) expect more of the same.
I like your idea about surveillance of the surveillance, I’m sure there are already millions of places this happens. Imagine what Google knows about Trump?
That is a good motivation to practice Zen mindfulness meditation.
I just don't know how to scare society enough. Maybe use this techs explicitly against specific demographics. Abuse it against democrats and republicans. Track and publish analysis of every trump supporter, bernie sanders supporter,minorities, I don't know just hit everyones sensitive sweet spots to show them "we can do this legally!!" Because the people that will profit from this will certainly not make their practice public enough to be visible by lawmakers and society at large.
The tech is moving magnitudes faster than the law.
Essentially use it against them in a very hostile way to force them to take this seriously.
