Have you seen the pages of the NYC tabloids, the police blotters? They routinely use screen grabs from surveillance cameras to identify suspected criminals and ask the public to be on the lookout. Other apers do this as well.
It is common practice in most if not all states to show pictures taken from surveillance cameras of criminals on TV in an effort to track them down.
The time to crab about "surveillance," sorry to tell you, was about fifty or sixty years ago. The horse has left the barn. Most major cities and highways are continuously surveilled. If you don't want to appear on a surveillance camera, you're probably well advised to find yourself a cabin in a remote area with nothing more than a rough path cut in to get there, learn how to survive without store-bought goods, and stay there.
