@Moon @evelyn >Or maybe they think that the guy behind the security camera cares less than the guy with the camcorder.
I agree people should be less okay with non-stop surveillance, but I think that's a very reasonable assumption for them to have.
Someone points a handheld video camera at you right now, it speaks to how much they want to have a recording of YOU specifically, while the security camera as far as everyone knows, no one will really pay attention to unless retroactively if something significant happened at that place and time. I'm sure people would be just as upset if they were to find out that the guy behind the security camera was paying special attention to them and making private copies of everywhere they showed up.

@Moon @evelyn Basically, I think it's the unwanted attention, not the recording that's bothering them. There's plausible deniability that a security camera doesn't translate to "you have someone's attention".
