Security cameras : why are people against them?

[Ebowed]

No.

1.) Waste of taxpayer money, a camera on every street is gonna be damn expensive;
2.) I don't like being constantly watched.

i absolutely would not. that would be ... a massive invasion of privacy

This is the one thing I've never understood: why would security cameras be an invasion of privacy?  I'm against them for other reasons, but really, you're out in a public place where absolutely everyone can see you; how is adding one more person who is able to see you suddenly invading your privacy?

Because that one more person works for the government.

You're rich, of course it doesn't matter to you when some ass steals your car.
