The problem with security cameras everywhere, in particular, CCTV cameras operated by the state, is that the state, and nefarious agents within it, can access the video footage "too" easily, because it's their "own" cameras.
A solution is to make for any security cameras operated by the state that records "the public", the footage is owned by "the public", access to which is vigorously defended by a public defender.
Every camera must have a law passed for it narrowly circumscribing it's use, and the public defender makes sure those restrictions are followed. We hope to avoid mission creep.
Footage outside the restrictions is also inadmissable in court.
Privately owned cameras that film the public are a problem, especially since the state may move to having all state-owned security cameras instead owned by private shell corporations to skirt the public defender. Perhaps "permanent" private cameras that film the public are inadmissable as evidence unless licensed, and the licensing requires a similar circumscription of use.
