Article 2 Section 1
with a little help from the 12th Amendment
Are we going to start that again? 
I will concede the 2nd Amendment helps too . . . a little.

There's a difference between falling and "jumping".
The United States of America is currently following the same socialist path.
I have my own Amendment:

So you're about to get cozy with your old lady. The lights are dimmed. The temperature's rising and suddenly you hear blaring out from the speaker mounted in your wall. ...."WELL. WELL, WELL! WOT'S ALL THIS THEN?"
Methinks something is rotten in Denmark.

B et al,
To those of us of Scots ancestry, such thinking is reminiscient of the Massacre of Glencoe in 1692 - a dark, blood-stained page in History when 38 unarmed members of Clan MacDonald were murdered by members of Clan Campbell. The slaughter of the host MacDonalds - who had provided shelter and food to their guests - at the hands of their Campbell guests on order of King William lll was a major affront to Scottish Law and Highland tradition - and such behavior is still on the books as treasonable and warranting of the death penalty.
Beware the lessons of History - for they live on in all our cultures in ways we can only attempt to understand.

Three things occur to me.
First, the cameras seem to confuse the line between public and private acts. There is a good chance that each of us has done something or other today that would not be appropriate in public. That might, in fact, be illegal to do in a public place. So - rhetorical question - what are the limits on what people can do in sight of the camera? Does the presence of a required camera transform an act in private into a public one?
Second, sabotage - more subtle than cutting wires - seems easy. A bright light or laser pointer aimed at the lens would work wonders.
Third, annoyance. Arrange something the viewer is likely to despise but that remains legal. Keep doing it, day after day, hour after hour. Endless reruns of such American classics as "Gilligan's Island" come to mind. Or perhaps Braveheart and The Patriot.
For those interested in lasers, I offer a favorite link. LINK

Sounds like a fix for that would be a national TV channel, the only one allowed. You don't have to watch, but you can never turn it off. It'll have a video camera too.

More junk ' reality' TV shows - more reasons to avoid television.

If they really want this to work then the watchers can't be gov employees (although this does look like it would naturally fall under the TSA in the USA). They'll just fall asleep. Have the broadcasts aired in other homes.
