Ohh come on, you don´t really believe that do you ?
These systems aren´t being observed by some kind of deviant and malicious people just waiting for you or yours to fall out of line, just waiting to interrogate you.
These systems are being setup to create a higher level of awareness of what´s going on out there, to shorten response times and to generally make the streets that bit more safe.
Honestly, i think you´re just being a bit paranoid.

And I think that given the history of the country you live in, you should be a A LOT more wary of surveillance than you are now. Remember - it hasn't even been 25 years since the Stasi disbanded.

In military intelligence, nobody cares about intentions, only capabilities... because sooner or later they will be used. Apply the same thinking here - if you give PEOPLE (not government, but the clerks who run it), the power to know everything about you, you create the kind of a power inequality that is sufficient to create a totalitarian state with no further input.
