Is that different from somebody getting arrested based on mistaken eyewitness.

It's like asking "is mass surveillance that different from targeted surveillance"?

Yes, of course it is. Orders of magnitude more people could be negatively and undeservedly affected this for no other reason than the fact that it's now cheap enough and easy enough to use by the authorities.

Just to give one example I came up with right now, in the future the police could stop you, take your picture and automatically have it go through its facial recognition database. Kind of like "stop and scan".

Or if the street cameras get powerful enough (and they will), they could take your picture automatically while driving and then stop you.

Think of it like a "TSA system for the roads". A lot more people will be "randomly picked" by these systems from the roads.
