I live outside of Baltimore. I have no problem with these cameras. When I'm out in public, I have no expectation of privacy. I am seen by people and I see them. No privacy. If I'm obeying the law there shouldn't be a problem. If I'm the victim of a crime, maybe the camera caught it increasing the possiblity of the person(s) being caught. The camera really isn't any different than a police officer walking a beat or passing by in a patrol car in terms of privacy. If I'm not doing anything to attract his attention I'm going to go about my business unhindered. End of story.

...or projectionists, like Tyler Durden?
