only option for law enforcement will be to remove the offending devices or declare maks illegal for public use (a real stretch for civil liberties).
Yeah, right, get real. The only reason you might want to avoid being identified is if you have something to hide.
And surely the only reason anyone would want to encrypt anything was if they had something to hide. I regularly walk very close to shop fronts in the towns near me so I stay out of the field of vision of the CCTV cameras, arrest me now, I must be dangerous....
Wearing a mask is only going to draw attention to you, and if you think everyone is suddenly going to start wearing masks...like I said in paragarph one, most people over here welcome the cameras.
I think if enough people wore suitable hats it would make it more difficult for individuals to be identified on CCTV tapes.
Please don't misinterpret my motives. I would be the first to celebrate if no threat to privacy existed. Unfortunately there are immoral, irresponsible and downright antisocial (not to mention the psychologically unsound) people who will not abide by the law, or to what we regard as social norms and persist in infringing our rights.
Define law, and define social norms and why they should be adhered to. On second thoughts, don`t even bother, just think it over for yourself, I am uninterested in your perspective.
