Surveillance cameras are not mentioned in that article at all! They
use the word "surveillance" to refer to the level of Stop 'n' Frisk
that is used.
Like so:
"The empirical evidence from New York City is that stop-and-frisk
as a policy for getting guns off the street helped. I think that's
fair to say. The fact is that more surveillance in society tends to
be effective," said University of Chicago law professor Bernard
Harcourt.
"The only question is, where do you want to set the level of
surveillance? It's a cost-benefit analysis," he said. Cities need
to weigh the potential benefits against "liberty interests and the
inevitable racial disparities and increased complaints of police
misconduct" that have followed such programs, he said.
As an answer to your statement, I think being constantly videotaped
IS a violation of my rights. (And yes, I know it's already happening.)
More interesting is the list of "most read" and "most emailed"
articles in the right sidebar. That shows what people REALLY care
about and it's sure not election issues.

what and breaking the law, you don’t need to random search or risk
