A series of questions I think we should all ask ourselves in regard to this experiment.

First and foremost, what is you kneejerk reaction to this concept? Why do you think you have that response?

What role does privacy play both in regards to human rights as well as the dignity of individuals? Why is privacy something we desire, expect, and value?

The standard argument today is that if we're in public we have given up any expectation of privacy. Even in public, shouldn't we be allowed some degree of privacy in the form of anonymity, concealed movements, etc.? Why or why not? How would you feel if at any time a police officer could stop you, ask who you are, where you are coming from, and where are you going? How would you feel if at any time literally anyone could stop you and ask you those questions? How is passive surveillance similar and how is it different?

What effects could this system potentially have on the people being watched? What effects could this system potentially have on the people watching? How could it be open to abuse or scandal? What changes could be made to this system that could increase or decrease chances for abuse and how would the change the effectiveness of the system? For example, what if facial recognition software was implemented and the names and information of citizens were prominently displayed for all to see?

If this system was implemented where you lived, would it make you think twice about stepping out in public? Do you think you'd be likely to sit down on your computer and see what's going on in your city? Would you feel more safe or less safe? What changes would make you feel more or less comfortable with this system? Why?
