The US doesn't have cameras everywhere. I think you're thinking of the UK.

The US has private cameras all over the place, and spy sats looking at most things
Have you been in any of the major American supermarkets recently? The number of cameras is ridiculous. I wouldn't be surprised if there are a similar number of cameras/person in the US. A town near me put up cameras on several intersections about 10 years ago, I was told they were for monitoring construction and traffic during the project but they are still all in place.
