Six U.S. Cities Make the List of Most Surveilled Places in the World
My first thought was: how is NYC not on this list since it has cameras on every block, and has for decades.<p>And then I saw this: "Atlanta was the only place in the U.S. to crack the top ten, with 15.56 cameras per thousand residents."<p>So they are looking at cameras per 1000 residents. This seems like the wrong way to count. If you point a camera at a block, you see everyone on that block whether there is one person or 10.<p>They should compute it as percentage of public area that is under surveillance, I think.
