A bunch of CCTV is one thing. If the police have to come and knock on each business owner's door to ask "hey, you got some footage from 2 days ago, someone was shot in the area", that's fine with me.

But what's not fine is that capability in a fully automated, fully remotely accessible way, because that openly invites abuse of all kinds.
