Only 11 police departments have policies that even purport
to regulate the use of video surveillance cameras
No jurisdiction has conducted a comprehensive evaluation
of the cameras’ effectiveness
As cities throughout California move quickly to approve and
install video surveillance, we strongly urge local governments
to pause and consider the impact of these systems. Surveillance
cameras will not improve public safety, and limited funds can be
better spent on programs that are both proven effective and less
invasive, such as improved lighting, foot patrols, and real community
policing.
As former Oakland Mayor (now California Attorney General)
Jerry Brown said in 1999 when the City of Oakland rejected
proposed video surveillance cameras: “Reducing crime is something
the community and police must work on together. Installing
a few or a few dozen surveillance cameras will not make us
safe. It should also not be forgotten that the intrusive powers of
the state are growing with each passing decade.”

Thank you all for your comments & Letting me share this with you ALL.

Well if you're not doing anything wrong, then it should be a good thing.
