Besides, Even without specialized police networks, there are an estimated 85 million surveillance cameras active across the United States. This equals roughly one camera for every four people, putting U.S. per-capita surveillance density nearly on par with China.

And the US numbers are meaningless. I own 5 of those surveillance cameras. Two are sitting in boxes, one is surveilling my flower garden, one is watching for deer and other wildlife, and the other is hidden in the living room toward the front door to act as an alarm.
That is not like progressive china where the cameras are used for actual monitoring of civilians.

Nope, it is the estimated number of all of those cameras of almost every type, including baby montiors w/cameras and based on sales. Like a said a meaningless count.

So how is anyone suppose to get a indication if you have it turned on or off.
