Precisely! Which is why an open camera network is essential — everyone will know many other people are watching. Police will have to go through proper procedures when making arrests (accountability, finally) because they know people are watching and will drop the hammer if they see anything wrong. This is the vision for the transparent society, and a path we must follow, else we’ll make ourselves an Orwellian future.

Spy cameras have forensic value, but do nothing to lower crime in the long term. When cameras are installed, a brief dip in crime is usual. Once people figure out that no one is actually monitoring anything, then things return to their previous state.

Software isn’t good enough yet. Keep it in the labs before we rely on them to catch criminal activity. Until then, we need to take the footage away from officials and give it to the public. Once all surveillance is open to public viewing (and with wireless hotspots everywhere these days) many people (instead of one bored person in a room) will be watching all the public areas at all times. Not only will this provide better surveilance (hundreds of eyes are better than two) but people will be able to use them for everyday life. For instance, parents can check to make sure their kids are at the mall like they said they’d be, or people can see if their party is still waiting at the Square for them, or if the bus is still there by chance, and many, many more possibilities.
One thing remains certain: surveillance should never be left to the government.
