These cameras aren't just invasive, they are expensive. Cities are paying a pretty penny to access a few web cams.

Last I looked it up, $2500 per year per camera in the surveillance area.

They are also installed improperly https://www.wate.com/news/tennessee/flock-cameras-tennessee-...

That doesn't sound expensive to me. Not compared to, say, a $1.7M public toilet[0].

To be clear, I do not support Flock cameras.
