The issue is, a lot of people wouldn’t mind the sheriff knowing where their wife and daughter are at all times. What if one of them gets kidnapped? It would be good if law enforcement could track them. That’s the logic some people have …

It's not illogical to say that more cameras would lead to more arrests of kidnappers, and other violent criminals.

I don't think many of us would object to video surveillance actually doing that. So, it's not even an immoral thought to many of us.

The problem is LE using it for almost any other purpose whatsoever.
