David Brin wrote a defense of your proposal in The Transparent Society. If you haven't already heard of it, you might want to check it out.

Here's a couple of issues:

Sure, if I hop on my bike and pedal off to the next town over, I'm in public and I have no expectation that my image will be private. On the other hand, if everybody has access to the surveillance camera outside my home, they know when to break in and rob me.

Yeah, it's great to be diverse and tolerant of everybody's differences, and I'm OK and you're OK and blah blah blah. On the other hand, if everybody's watching on the webcam, people might think twice about sneaking out to the Furry Con or to the Bad Boyfriend's house. Privacy allows people the chance to try out new things without having to justify their actions.
