Great Topic! Physicist ans Sci-Fi author David Brin has written considerable on the subject:

In short, Brin would say we need more openness, not less, and control of the cameras cannot belong to the police or the State.

It could be used against them. The law also applies to the state. They would not be able to have security tapes made in public if they do not have everyone's consent to be taped.
