I'm not sure if this is a nonsense point, but let me try. There are a growing number of people in the US who base morality on legality not vice versa. If we extend that mindset to enforcement of law, does that not lead to a situation where if they (can't prove) don't film you in your misbehavior then you don't consider it misbehavior? It just seems like we're turning into a society guided by extrinsic forces rather than intrinsic forces, which to me is one more step toward a general societal melt down.
