This gets us to the central problem of today’s surveillance state. No one running the cameras wants to be observed. One reason that city officials object to releasing Flock data, for example, must that they themselves are among the recorded. The cameras are on them too; they too can be tracked. Everything means everything for these everywhere cameras.

That's why I installed an analog camera DVR system in my home. It cheap, reliable, locally hosted, and best of all I'm the only one with access. (Not counting the Chinese government via the mandated backdoor in the DVR firmware) it's great!
