Im not the only one in the world that doesn't like being spied on, I see you both do then.
Circumstantial ad Hominem through hasty generalization
There are obviously more options than "YOU HATE CAMERAS AND FEAR THEM OR YOU LOVE BEING SPIED ON"
A Circumstantial ad Hominem is a fallacy because a person's interests and circumstances have no bearing on the truth or falsity of the claim being made. While a person's interests will provide them with motives to support certain claims, the claims stand or fall on their own.
Ever hear the story of the toad in the bowl? Well the people are the toad and the country is the bowl. The water just keeps getting heated up (stricter laws) very very slowly and people don't do anything about it untill they can't do anything about it.
Slippery Slope fallacy.
This sort of "reasoning" is fallacious because there is no reason to believe that one event must inevitably follow from another without an argument for such a claim. This is especially clear in cases in which there is a significant number of steps or gradations between one event and another.
cameras are being pointed inside your homes if you live in britain, they're also being placed in them.
Appeal to fear
This sort of "reasoning" is very common in politics and it serves as the basis for a large portion of modern advertising. Most political speeches are aimed at generating feelings in people so that these feelings will get them to vote or act a certain way. in the case of advertising, the commercials are aimed at evoking emotions that will influence people to buy certain products. In most cases, such speeches and commercials are notoriously free of real evidence. (and by evidence I'm still waiting for you to prove that being spied on is actually harmful)
I gave my point and proof,
I have been patient and waited for a reasonable argument from you for this entire thread that is actually backed by current research and statistics. (15 year old+ studies by research groups nobody has ever heard of doesn't cut it here)
