The actually evil people would still find ways to evade detection, while normal folks would be an open book to the Inquisition.
That's basically the foundation of how most of our laws versus freedom dichotomies work.
We let things go that maybe should be criminal, simply because we can never truly stop/prevent it for whatever reason and criminalizing it just drives it harder underground to prevent any attempt at confronting it.
And this only doesn't apply to the most awful and damaging of actions, CP, rape, hardcore drugs, prostitution, etc. Ones where there is no "ethical consumption" and thereby we cannot abide it in any form.
I think the setup for it as we have it in America is probably the most superior option, and all of the so called failings of it can be sanded off with better cultural and community action instead of more government and laws instead. If everytime a nigger got caught playing the knockout game, his family was shunned, his life destroyed, and social consequences were basically enough to internally regulate (whether his internally or just his family/neighborhood beating sense into him), then we wouldn't all need to give up our privacy to combat it.
I agree! Back when community standards were held in great value? People didn't need Ottawa or DC to tell them right from wrong.
My point in noting that such widespread authority was give to governments is that the 'good reasons' they started with, like fighting CP, end up becoming the literal Inquisition where people are grabbed for trivial, arbitrary "reasons" and tortured into confessing. And their money and land confiscated, of course. Actually this is already going on...
