Assuming this project can't be stopped (which it can't) how does everyone feel about the system being accessible to EVERYONE rather than just the government?
Any citizen could monitor the cameras via the web. This would allow everyone equal access rather that allowing the monitoring to be exclusively and selectively used by the government against its own people.
People in Baltimore should smash the cameras, impeach the governor for being an unamerican statist scumbag, then put cameras in every government office with live feeds on a public internet site.
I've heard proposals for that before. If we have to have these things, public access seems like the only way to prevent their abuse (or at least minimize the abuse). No doubt there'd be objections by the people operating the cameras, saying that knowing what the camera is looking at enables evildoers to know when to make their moves. Most "evildoers" caught by cameras are people who do something spontaneously, without thinking about the cameras. The REAL bad guys would know how to defeat/avoid them. So giving the public access to the output wouldn't be helping evildoers who'd otherwise get caught.
