I haven't explored this issue in awhile, but let's not forget this 2007 London Telegraph article http://tr.im/l49H
"..damning official report which revealed 80 per cent of CCTV footage is of poor quality and that the cameras are mostly used to trap motorists rather than catch criminals."
In reply, I would point to http://smart-city.re-configure.org/ a chapter in the book Collective Intelligence: Creating a Prosperous World at Peace.
People will become more interested in participating when it becomes more exciting to be part of the process and can see the results of their participation.

The government officially has begun to formulate a national research and development agenda for âoegame-changing ideas" as part of the multiyear, multibillion-dollar, governmentwide effort to secure cyberspace through the Comprehensive National Cybersecurity Initiative (CNCI).

The Air Force announced last week that it has backed off even further from its grand plan to establish a cyberspace command as the military entity primarily responsible for securing and conducting offensive operations in cyberspace.
The Air Force launched a provisional Cyberspace Command more than a year ago and scheduled a formal command launch for Oct. 1. However, officials delayed that effort after the departures of Air Force Chief of Staff T. Michael "Buzz" Moseley and Air Force Secretary Michael Wynne, who were fired for incidents involving the mishandling of nuclear detonators and weapons.
I check out a newsletter from Bob Lefsetz related to music and usually I'm not interested in what's posted on non-music from his newsletter but seeing his comments (posted below) after reading Slashdot's article is a useful combo:
Mark Cuban is a crybaby.
Selling Broadcast.com at the height of dot com frenzy, he wants to shut the door behind him, exclude all those who don't play by the rules. He wants to see the death of YouTube, since they're stealing the content and he's investing money to gain a foothold in the movie/visual content business.
Yes, that's how quickly the young become old farts. How Democrats turn into Republicans. How hippies become racists, wanting to keep the disadvantaged away from their McMansions, now being built behind gates.
Society is made up of rules, they call them laws, but laws are made to be broken. Or maybe you never cottoned to rock music. Or came to the party so late that a rock star was someone who was famous, as opposed to someone who played by his own rules.
Compare Mr. Cuban to John Lennon. Lennon made all that money and fought for the people, not himself. He was always true to himself. Which is why he's still remembered a quarter century after his death, and Mr. Cuban will be forgotten minutes after his demise.
