It's not just in the wide open spaces of St. Lawrence County that you are being watched.
In stores or in your favorite restaurant there could be cameras. Some bars have them too. Sometimes its the novelty of the equipment that attracts use, but often its to limit liability and prevent crime.
What about having dinner with a new "acquaintance" or maybe with a business rival your boss wouldn't like seeing you with ?
There's as many what ifs with this technology as everyday life becomes crime because cops, divorce lawyers and crusading media get pictures they can weave into a narrative.
In fact, didn't that happen recently ?

Don't buy into logical fallacy. If you already have x it doesn't mean you shouldn't mind having 2x. That is the idiotic windmill argument they use in the Cape.
All of those private cameras are private. That is a big difference between an organized implementation of cameras by the government. If the government wants to look at private cameras they need permission or a search warrant. Not so with their own cameras on the roads. And last I checked Walmart cannot fine you or put you in prison or put you through rendition or audit you.
Another point. By now everyone knows what a typical camera can do and it is not that much. You are lucky if you can tell if it is a man or a women walking on the public square camera. But the government can afford the cameras that cost as much as a car and can zoom in and capture license plates and see all kinds of details.
Another point, 9:59. What's your point? The cameras are part of the loss of freedom.
The point was that another reason private owned cameras are not nearly as intrusive as government owned cameras is the resolution.
