Genuinely asking how is that realistically dangerous to the populace? Set aside a slippery slope argument, because we’re just talking about security cameras in public areas: do you really think you have a right to privacy on a sidewalk?

Are they an asshole for calling the tip line, instead of keeping quiet?
