“Many of us participated in the uprising in ways that sought to push it to its limits: to make it bigger, more intense, more widespread, more dynamic. We were inspired when the Third Precinct went up in flames. Like a guiding light, we followed it. We dipped our torches in the flames, carrying them to every city in this dark country where, for a few beautiful months, hope shined bright. Then we saw them doused, one by one. Today, we find ourselves alone, or maybe with a few friends, huddling over those last embers.”

Beyond zoning regulations, and in the context of permissive privacy laws that do little to address private surveillance of public spaces, there is no federal administrative framework that can provide hard statistics on the number of public-facing cameras in the US.

Anecdotal data and limited surveys contend that video camera diffusion in the US may be on a par with China, but it’s not easy to prove.
