I don’t really know the legal arguments that make surveillance of public places into searches, but let’s assume they exist and are valid… I still don’t think people would be that mad about it if you thought you could trust your police to use the information half-way responsibly.
The US is (also) mad about them because it’s a violation of the 4th amendment of our constitution against unreasonable search.
And because US law enforcement have been using the private sector to bypass the need for a warrant.
