\* It will not be publicly available other than behind a paywall a la PACER.
\* No laws will change. The government and corporations are already protected from the consequences of acquiring illegal data so they (congress, lobbyists) will continue to not care if a non-corporate entity can access data safely or not.
\* The government has already decided that you are well within your rights to photograph whatever you want from public land, they will angle the cameras however they like. Although I am sure wealthy people will be able to get cameras facing away from their neighborhoods somehow.
Being in public does mean potentially being recorded. But that law was legalized before everyone had a camera and could easily aggregate it all. We should be fighting for laws against persistent, widespread recording or aggregation of photos and video done by private or government entities.
\* You cannot tail everyone, everywhere with such low expenses without ubiquitous recording. Why not criminalize that? Otherwise any CEO can see where you or I go, who we talk to, etc. It will not be available for ordinary people to view CEOs or congresspeople.
\* Recording people's conversations is illegal for private entities, but "voice stress analysis" is legal. Recording conversations in service to the NSA and DHS is probably illegal but they most likely have a secret court warrant that allows it but is unchallengeable.
\* If you think every violent crime will be solved by recording everything, and that it is worth the collateral damage, I have got some news for you. If you're serious about recording conversations they're going to be able to solve many new conspiracy to commit "crimes," like if someone jokes about eating a child's heart in public.
\* "Follow a protest" is exactly what they would like to do; by having computers everywhere they can skip having police get an identity and just add the protestors to a no-fly list directly, or look up their crimes from the email database and arrest the leaders at their leisure. No more embarrassing pepper spray incidents. Yes Google will be able to tell you the traffic or weather, startups will not be able to unless they are well-funded and well-connected.
Making the recording public just allows abusive spouses to easily find their victim again as well as enabling all the shit the government would like to do. I want neither the government nor private entities to be allowed video data from hundreds of points around any given city.
