Let's extend it with reason instead. Everyone has something to hide, but the people with the most power can do the mosr dangerous things. We need power-progressive surveilence: everyone with lots of power over the lives of others should have their choices and lives be scrutinizable by those whose lives they affect.

- Random ordinary citizen? Leave me alone. - Someone in a law enforcement agency? Jail time if their mandatory badge came stop functionioning, with all the footage being public data. A powerful politician? Billionaire CEO? Board members of a massive international corporation? 24/7 livestreamed public surveillance.

After all, the worst the average person can do is shoot some people, but those who hold power can ruin the lives of millions with a word, and often do. They shouldn't be allowed to get away with it, and if they don't like it, they can simply step away from power.

I honestly believe this, but even if you don't, it's worth considering why it's always a discussion of the powerful privately and secretly monitoring the weakest in society, rather then the other way around. Almost like its purely a reinforcement of the existing hierarchy.
