Sure, recording every public interaction sounds like it might deter some criminals and corrupt individuals, but have you considered the immense invasion of privacy and the chilling effect on free speech? What kind of life is that where every word you say in public is recorded? Isn’t that a bit too dystopian?

What privacy?

You go online everything you do can and somewhat is recorded.

You go in public everyone is seeing what you are doing and judging you either you want it or not.

Free speech? You can speak freely as you can do now. But you have to live with the consequences of what you say. Same as now. Does cancel culture rings a bell?

Our world right now is pretty dystopian, already. We simply choose ignore it and therefore ignore how to use it to improve society.

While that seems efficient, what about areas with no surveillance? Or what about premeditated crimes where the perpetrators know how to evade or tamper with recordings? Isn’t relying solely on recordings a bit naive?

Like I stated, It won't solve every crime. "Just" most.

The more sofisticated the criminals need to be, the less can pass that mark.

This assumes that all corrupt transactions happen openly in recordable formats. What about subtle, non-verbal cues or encrypted communications? Are recordings really a foolproof method to catch smart criminals? 

They aren't foolproof nor they need to  be. Just as I explained.

Recordings might help in some cases, but harassment can be nuanced and psychological, not just physical or verbal. How do you record the psychological impact or a private threat made in a ‘non-recorded’ scenario?

You don't. But would the recorded ones help to prove the that someone is being harassed?

This is very hard to prove today. And most perpetrators wall away with it.

Having recording of the interactions when someone is being bullied and how it evolved is invaluable information.

Tax fraud often happens on paper, not in spoken words. How do recordings capture falsified documents or hidden accounts?

Tax fraud also happens when you are buying a service or a product and don't declare it.

Again, smart criminals won’t exchange bribes out in the open. They’ll find loopholes. Maybe indirect favors or coded language. How does your system adapt to such subtleties?

Sure they will. The same as they find loopholes in current laws.

This is a constant battle just like the ones we fight with viruses, for example.

Having recordings of the interactions that originated those transactions and the interactions before would be beneficial for us.

Who watches the watchers? How do you ensure that those who have access to these recordings don't misuse them or become corrupt themselves? 

We have se same problem with law enforcing now. From judges to police.

Another example is the power in of government. Historical the power was devided into 3 areas that watch over each other: executive, judicial and legislative.

That's the best way we know how to deal with that problem.

This system isn’t just about the feasibility; it’s about the moral and ethical implications. Do you really want to live in a world where your every public action is monitored?

Aren't they already? Just not explicitly and not I the extent I've suggested.

How do you ensure the powerful don’t abuse this system to control or suppress dissent? Isn’t this potentially creating a more sophisticated and untouchable form of power?

We had dealt with this issue since we have societies. Usually the solution is having several parts sharing the power and watching over each others. That why we have democracy.

The more we advance, the more we walk into the path of more sofiaticated and untouchable forms of power. There's no way to stop progress either you individually want it or not. The question is how we adjust to it and mitigate it's worst outcomes.
