Comparitech looked at a variety of camera types that have become ubiquitous in U.S. cities of all sizes.
Fixed CCTV cameras.
Cameras accessed through real-time crime centers.
Private cameras within the police force’s network.
Cameras on public transport facilities.
Traffic cameras.
Streetlight cameras.
Not to mention, FedEx and Amazon are also spying on you each time they make a delivery to your home.
Tech writer Kim Komando reports in an October 22, 2022 article that the study even looked at police departments that access people’s private Ring doorbell data.
She writes: “Did you know that police can access your Ring footage without your permission? Tap or click here to stop law enforcement from asking you for any videos. While at it, you’ll want to disable Amazon’s shared wireless network, known as Sidewalk. Here’s how to opt out of Sidewalk on your Amazon devices.”
Using Census.gov data, this is what the Comparitech study showed:
44.2 million people are being monitored by 270,000 cameras.
Atlanta was the most surveilled city, with a ratio of 48.93 cameras per 1,000 people.
Chicago had the highest number of cameras at 32,000.
28 of the police departments have access to Ring doorbell technology and have submitted a total of 728 requests for access to footage in the third quarter of 2020.
