dont hey always tell us

'you have nothing to worry about if you have nothing to hide'

uh huh... hows that feel now, government employee?

Yep.

Ya 'all like surveillance so much, let's put all government employees under a camera all the time. Of all the places I find cameras offensive, that one not so much.

I sure hope you get your daily dosis of enjoying people's misery watching the substitute teacher crying in the teacher's lounge.

Cameras in a teacher's lounge would be ridiculous but, in principle, cameras in classrooms make a lot of sense. Teachers are public officials who exercise power over others, and as such they need to be accountable for their actions. Cameras only seem mean because teachers are treated so badly in other ways.

Sure thing, buddy. They exert such power that they can barely make teens stay put for dice minutes without fucking around with their phones. So much power.

You don't know what power is.

I checked just in case. Exactly as I said, most government workers have no power or means to exact it. You must be thinking of something else.

Although I can recognize when someone has silly power fantasies. It is wild, man.
