I own some restaurants. We have cameras, too. No, they don't scan customers and cars in any way. You're implying those cameras are owned by the police. You're making stuff up.

I've seen steerable cameras in shopping mall parking lots follow shapely, fashionably dressed young women. Also, some cities have deals where the police (or "Public Safety") department monitors cameras that private sector entities buy and install. I believe that person, in short.

  And, despite that (if it were true), most do not. Crossing the line of using police in private sector situations is possible because the private company asked them to, such as in large shopping malls. In any case, it still does not mean it's every camera system throughout the world which would, again, be a false statement.

  What does that prove? The post I replied to was an answer to the implication that all cameras everywhere I used by the police (NSA and any government org). I never said there are no cameras.

    And the post you replied to never stated nor implied what you claim. Straw troll is made of straw.

Your cameras might not be part of the pool of cameras monitored by civilian volunteers, but there are a great many other cameras that are. My family visited the local station for a tour when they were having a sort of community day. Our young boys wanted to see what a police station was like. Part of the tour included a visit to their video surveillance room. There were at least a dozen LCDs each with 4 camera feeds displayed, and two volunteers watching the cameras. The majority of the cameras were security cameras installed by business owners and home owners, and they shared the feed (and often pan/tilt control) with the police. There might not be automated scanning yet, but everything they did was recorded. Automating this in a central location (county, or state) would be relatively trivial within the next few years. To say the police own the cameras is incorrect, but it is absolutely true to say the police HAVE ACCESS TO the cameras, and often DO CONTROL them.
