Re: It's in its infancy, but it will improve
* You have a personal tracing device in your pocket RIGHT NOW (your phone).
Only when I remember to take it with me. And I minimise what's on it.
* You have listening devices in your home RIGHT NOW (Smart TV, digital assistant, games console...)
You might have them. I don't and won't. I can't imagine anything they'd be useful for. TV smarts are provided my MythTV and Kodi. I control them, not the other way around.
* You have behaviour monitoring devices RIGHT NOW (activity tracker, internet connect fridge, home automation...)
Nope. Again, can't imagine having a use for them. As to internet connected fridge - ROFLMAO.
* You are using facial recognition RIGHT NOW (Facebook, Windows, Apple...)
Facebook? Absolutely not. Windows, Apple? No, Linux..
* You are happy to be tracked RIGHT NOW (advertising)
Poor little A/C. Never heard of ad blockers, NoScript and all the rest of the armour the security minded use.
Apart from any other consideration has it not occurred to you that one of the requirements to live freely under the law is that the police should follow the law themselves? When it's considered likely that a challenge to their legality would likely be successful then we really should be concerned.
