> 9,000 CCTV cameras, owned either by the NYPD or private actors

I wonder what kind of person volunteers their camera for the surveillance apparatus.

The business owner who might have had their fill of break-ins, people pooping in front of their store, et al., for one. I'm sure "private actors" is not all just Ring doorbells.

Businesses point cameras at the public for the sole purpose of surveillance. I'm not talking other businesses, I'm talking business built to sell and launder surveillance footage.
