No. Nobody is being punished in the UK for saying they don't like cameras everywhere.
I'm not sure why they wouldn't be. People have been arrested for peacefully protesting (https://www.amnestyusa.org/urgent-actions/united-kingdom-ove...), asking who elected the king (https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-oxfordshire-62878954), holding up signs (https://apnews.com/article/palestine-action-terror-ban-arres...), flying flags (https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2026/04/02/flag-raising-act...), posting photos of current events online (https://www.wsws.org/en/articles/2024/08/30/fdbr-a30.html), trying to avoid facial recognition (https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/crime/facial-recogniti...), and in countless instances where people expressed themselves on social media.
Punishing someone for saying they don't like cameras seems like it'd be perfectly on brand for the UK at this point.
