Also there's the possibility people aren't particularly bothered by it as long as it gets used for reasonable purposes, to catch the bad guys. My main annoyance with surveillance in London is it wasn't good enough to catch the bastards who snatched my phone.
From a practical point of view to avoid getting caught if you look at the phone snatchers, they wear hoodies, balaclava type cycle masks and generic black tracksuit like clothing. If you look at the photos of the NYC shooter he slipped up in not wearing a balaclava type mask and in having distinctive clothing and backpack.
