This is extremely once-sided view. Cameras protect employees from unfounded accusations.

Cameras provide alibi to those who may be suspects, saving time and money.

And so on.

You are only seeing the negative side of cameras, but there are positives as well.

> Their landlord forces them. A tight labor market forces them. Time pressure forces them. Bills force them. Hunger forces them. Our entire system forces them.

Nope, they are free to walk away, rent without cameras, etc, etc.

They are indeed free to go live under a bridge, until the police tell them to move on.
There are a lot of choices between “under the bridge” and “cameras are evil”.
There are indeed a lot of choices for you. Others have fewer choices.
Just look up how cameras give uber drivers protection against wrongful accusations and go off your high horse.
