For the record, I am not related to Ryan Strome.

That being said, I don't really want it. Because I know some people will abuse it.
People will abuse anything. Would you rather have that abuse be caught on tape or not discovered until Kathryn Morris wanders through 30 years later? There are 6000 murders that go unsolved every year. Don't just say "will abuse it", tell me what that abuse will constitute, and whether it's as bad. If you want to make a reasonable decision you have to look at pros and cons, not jot down a single con and dismiss the proposal.

This is the fundamental flaw of your argument in a nutshell. Governments (including our own) have committed genocide with rifles, with bombs, with bayonets... but those armaments are part of the status quo, so you don't question them. The United States already has the power to kill every human on the planet. You're not worried about preventing genocide, you're worried about anything that's new.
