These things proliferate where people trust the government or see the government as a means to the end of getting one over on whoever is bad for them.

So the Nth generation group of townies that run any given rural shithole will happily slap them up, the government represents them as far as they're concerned.

And meanwhile in some snooty inner ring Chicago suburb that fancies themselves "progressive" (but in what direction?) they slap up the same damn cameras because they see it as a means to make more efficient the enforcement of the myriad of rules on which their enclave depends and they are wealthy and well represented so they have no fear of it being used against them.

Rural Georgia probably has a little of column A, little of column B going on.
