Don’t know why they bother, they don’t seem to care about what’s legal anyway.
Its about pushing boundaries.
If a camera on every street corner is legal, just imagine what they are doing with that data.
Same thing with actionable data. If the goal is to just abduct you in a black helicopter and waterboard you, the law doesn’t matter. If the goal is to ruin your reputation and put you and other “enemies of the state” in prison, then you need a legal basis. Otherwise it becomes a huge kerfuffle and you become a martyr.

Why bother? We are already on our way to a more Brave New World style dystopia where we actively surrender because of the opioids and orgasm boxes.
They want to be like the CCP.
