I learned a lot from your post.

I knew at the start that the monitors watching the camera view were subject to making blackmail propositions to people. They are NOT Norman Vincent Peale, they are often security guard type ordinary guys (like airport security).

They say the most common views from indoor camera viewing are directed to look up women’s dresses or down their cleavages. The first news report on that was when police were disappointed at NOT seeing the crime views because the males were watching women.

I commute on the Metro North from Connecticut to NYC. Just within the past month, surveillance cameras are now on every car. So my entire commute is now being recorded and as soon as I get to Grand Central, I already know that I'm being recorded all the way to my office.

I'm not 100% sure but I think that the elevators in my building also now have cameras, hidden in the monitors that show ads, weather, sports scores and breaking news.

The pace of video surveillance in public areas is rapidly accelerating.
