it's 1984 in the disguise of "smart city". it's much easier for the gov of Singapore to collect fines by ticketing smoking violations (smoke detector) or littering (motion detector), with cross-referencing your mobile phone meta-data. This could even be done by a bot, without a policeman even presented. it's much easier for the Sg gov to monitor opposition parties for illegal assembly of more than five people under its penal code. if someone tried to argue that giving away partial freedom to feel safe at night, try solitary confinement.
