My 2 cents: Police body cameras capture events at random locations. These other cameras are fixed in place and can more reliably be used to stalk people.

There's also tons of these. I feel like I don't see a police cruiser every time I drive somewhere, but I do pass by a couple surveillance cameras.

If I assume that 1/3rd of my city's sworn officers are on duty at any time, there's literally more cameras than officers around town.
