The problem though is that people aren’t honest and willing to accept more crime for less surveillence. The police are zero-sum, they can only do so much, so things like this are an effort to try and increase protection by supplementing it with mechanical means.
I mean, stores use cctv too, mostly because its impossible to afford a full-time detective team. If they didn’t, crime would increase, simply because there is less of a deterrent.
If you want small government, you have to accept the reduction in services it will bring. You can’t have both-if you want more freedom from observation, you have to accept the increase in crime it may bring.
