Oceanside has CCTV cameras in nearly every public place in the city,
especially their beaches. The film all public events in the city.
So, if you see a cute girls on the beach, you can go file a FOIA request
and get a copy of the video?
Actually, FOIA-like requests are the only way to deal with public
surveillance.
For any public surveillance or tracking, the public should be able to
make a request for the information and have it granted.
What happens is that this turns the watchers into the watched as well.
Magically, when then happens, the advocates for public surveillance
suddenly find their enthusiasm diminishes markedly.
