>And guess which neighborhoods have the most cameras?

The ones with highest amount of crime?

But it could also be the opposite: the neighbourhoods of the well off, who are willing to pay for this kind of service.

I really don't know, since both options seem likely.

No, not the ones with the highest crime but the poor/black/brown neighborhoods, at least in my city. I know, I live in a majority brown neighborhood and I've mapped the flock cameras in my city. There are more cameras in my neighborhood by about 3:1. To me this really shows the bias in my local PD because while there are pockets of high crime in my neighborhood, it is a huge neighborhood and the crime rate outside of those pockets is about the same as the rest of the city nevertheless, the cameras are not concentrated in the high-crime pockets but throughout the entire neighborhood.

It seems to be the opposite near me. There's a few well off neighborhoods that I've noticed have cameras all over, but the area near my work where there's new piles of broken glass every morning has nothing (not that I want more surveillance, but it makes the intent clear).

The neighborhoods that are less well off I spend less time in, so maybe I just haven't seen them, but usually surveillance there seems to be in the form of parking lot camera trailers.

The ones that police want to arrest the most citizens of.

As much as I dislike the police and the government in general I don’t think the police cares much about that.
