"...a surveillance camera on every street corner in Chicago."
People will protest this move in Chicago but how is it different from an organization putting a private citizen on every corner with a video camera to document something? With cameras in pocket devices these days the people can do this fairly easily. If there is a person on a given corner, there is likely already a camera on that corner too these days. Homes and everything in them (including wireless routers) should be private by default. But public spaces are public so why the privacy expectation? Corporations and agencies are certainly moving this direction already and the police have had great success using recordings from security cameras to track criminals and solve crimes. I need to learn more about this one...
