Well, a lock does a great job at not letting people into my apartment. Why not put the camera inside the door? It is trivial to find videos of people committing crimes, but that does not imply anything about its likelihood. Meanwhile the state has an excellent record of abuse of power for ends that are unrelated to the reasons given for the power. See: the use of “terrorism” to justify militarizing domestic law enforcement, or parallel reconstruction. The issue is that this idea that centralization of information will somehow avoid the pattern of abuse of centralized power in the hands of people with perverse incentives. This video stream should be considered private property IMHO which requires a warrant like anything else.
