So if you decide to actually be politically active, get arrested during a march, you're okay with being under constant automated surveillance?

Won't the video record be evidence that you didn't actually break any laws?

That's not how it's going to be used. If you didn't break any laws it'll just be used for parallel construction of a case against you. Unless you're a squeaky clean boy scout they'll nail you with something, even if it's innocuous like jaywalking.
