If they are, or can be steered to, look in a window, that’s one thing. But if they can only see the public street, then they should be unsecured, for the convenience of the public. I can use them to check traffic, or see if the bus is coming.

Or see if you're being surveiled.
A lot of these can be steered.
Even more convenient. And when the law enforcement purpose needs them to be fixed on a certain spot, then turn off public access until the investigation is over.
And by polling them to see when public access is disabled, you know exactly when and where stakeouts are happening!
Could you offer this as a SaaS? Any good literature on how to develop pricing models aimed at criminals?
