Fight it if you want.
I think it is something that ought to be embraced.
Your entire post is right on target, Frank Apisa, but especially your above statement. Cameras are everywhere....as we drive, street corners, at the ATM! If it had not been for cameras at the Boston Marathon bombings on April 15, 2013, we would not have been able to identify the terrorists so quickly. Americans familiarity with old privacy as we once knew it is fading and in its stead is a new normal of privacy. There is nothing that can be done to reverse this trend, at least, not at this time, because the technology is in its babyhood. We live in such an unpredictably violent world, and installing cameras everywhere appear the best the government can come up with to combat such, even if it's only after the fact.
I do not embrace an invasion of my privacy, but there's little I can do to prevent this scientific new industry from knowing much about me.....in such a society, one sometimes have to give up something precious. There are cookies wherever I go on the Internet. The other day I was searching the net for an unusual tiny air-conditioner for an exceedingly small window in my extra small living room. I did not find one to meet my window measurements, but an hour later, very tiny ACs were advertised wherever I went on the web.

Just kidding. Cannot imagine why you encountered opposition of any sort unless you were unknowingly invading someone's personal space. Cameras are accepted everywhere similarly to people speaking on their phones endlessly.
