    I keep mentioning this idea, hoping to someday make it seem less extreme: the government should be under total surveillance 24/7.

    Like, anyone at any time can look through any of the tens of thousands of cameras saturating every government building.

        Army and police get to have non-camera operations of course. They’re still recorded, just not broadcast for whatever delay makes the tactical information obsolete.

      Honestly this is an intersting idea. Albeit, it may be hatd to implement since some buildings have to be private for national security reasons (specifically regarding military strategy and such).

        Military’s camera feeds go into memory crystals that automatically unshuffle after like 50 years. That way history is guaranteed to get a full accounting of the conflict, but there’s no possibility of strategic information giveaway.
