Here’s a radical proposal (similar to some from David Brin): put all public camera footage into a data repository, allow anyone to search it, but record that they did so – and make that information publicly available as well.

I can see downsides the article doesn’t mention (criminals will know where there are camera blind spots, for example). But the upsides are certainly interesting.

    I think the plan there would be not so much to prevent them using it as to have evidence that they had used it.
