So you're telling me that, once you enter a place that I can see, you get to examine whether I'm using a biological eye or a CMOS sensor or a cybernetic implant or whatever else? And then, having examined that, you get to assess what I'm doing, in private, with the data that I collect from my sensor experience of existence. But it's your privacy that's implicated?

How far does this philosophy extend? If I have a telescope on another planet and process the input in a way that you don't like, can you extradite me to Earth and charge me with a crime?

It would be helpful to keep the conversation in scope of things that are real or could happen.

It's perfectly reasonable to use a hypothetical to reveal how consistent or measured an argument is.

And none of what I've said here is so far removed as to be useful. Wearable or implantable cameras are coming. Taking photographs of one jurisdiction from another jurisdiction happens all the time.
