You're already watched in the vast majority of public spaces you go to. However, you don't have direct access to this kind of footage for personal defense -- which just increases the susceptibility of our surveyors to corruption, abuse or simply omission.
Moreover, I don't think your neighbors would be particularly interested in recording your life; what they see is already stored in their minds. Now in exceptional cases they _would_ be interested, such as spotting someone break into your house -- and also on their own defense, of course -- for example if you offended them.
In any case, the case for the right of personal sousveillance is vastly stronger than against, as I see it.

Ideally we'd be able to force a company to delete any recognisable image of ourselves that we haven't signed a release for. Especially when your friends and neighbours are going to screw up privacy settings (by Facebook's design) and share it with at least everyone they know.
