Found this to be a fairly reasonable article covering both the benefits and potential pitfalls of real-time video monitoring usage in law enforcement. Though I thought the ‘live-streaming‘ bit in the title was a touch sensational.

On balance, I tend to think systems like these do more good than harm. That’s kind of a loaded statement though, because I’m assuming free, legal, and open access - and I’m not even sure what that means.

That being said, I can see the danger of tools like these being used for ill intent.
