And how many lives get directly fucked because of each individual camera?
Would you not shoot a Nazi installing miniguns around the top of the white house? Sure, there's "being forced into the machine", but actively settng up their weapons is definitely at least one step too far.
The ones installing cameras do point it at cars. The analogy still checks out.
Don't act like the person pulling the trigger is the only one to blame in the process.
I think you have a severe case of intentionally distorting analogies and metaphors. That's twice.
