Radicalising "realism", why do societies sanction murder if all people have to die anyway? ;-) But seriously, in the context of camera surveillance: Analogue argument, you are in public space, everyone could watch you at the streets, why bother camera surveillance? Shouldn't a citizen expect to be recorded on tape? etc. I am all for "worst case expectations" but often it's a human slippery slope that we tend make these views "normative" and as a result promote practices that make things worse and discourage higher ambitions and standards.
