The negative I see here is that it teaches your child that giving up rights for the promise of more safety (or more likely just because an authority figure says so) is something good and normal.

Also teaching that the concept of constant surveillance is good and normal.

I don't understand why you would like to do this just in case or because "it would have been nice".

Would you say that is somewhat of a special case and that different considerations apply for this special case?
