I'm very tinfoil hat and objected to the all-pervasive cameras, but once you realise that they don't, in fact, use them to read your sweet, delicious brainmeats, and actually have used them quite effectively to solve particularly horrid crimes, I (at least) loosened on the paranoia front a little and (scarily given my general outlook) feel marginally safer that if I disappeared somewhere, they'd jolly well find me (or catch an assailant, etc) by tracing back my last movements.
from a scientific angle: they don't have the man/computer-power to analyse the VAST quantity of footage they have, *except* when they know what they're looking for (when a crime occurs). they seem to use it quite pragmatically and justly.
