The biggest problem with cameras "everywhere" is the person or people who control them. Cameras CAN lie by omission. Videos and photos can also be altered in many ways from the ridiculous to the dangerously scandalous.
It depends on who and why the camera are operated and to ''protect'' what

For example public security cameras are generally inefficient since they cover large areas and are most of the time are used to bust petty crime, and aren't even good to prevent robberies, rape and the ... will for the price of each camera almost all citizen could get a Saturday Night Special (GUN) and have some peace of mind
I studied in a boarding school were we had cameras in our installation to prevent vandalism ... it was awful to live like an hamster ... but they busted ONE student for stealing a cell-phone, another for playing basketball nude in the dormitories lol
Supermarkets and other business, like banks, have cameras covering their more precious assets, and those are more likely to be part of successive security system

So the effectiveness of a camera monitoring depends on:
- intensity : There a difference between monitoring a bank vault and a empty street were nothing happens
- Purpose: The MYTH behind public cameras is that you can solve crimes only by having videos of everywhere every time ... The purpose of private cameras is that videos can be useful has part of your facilities security aparatus
So you have a MYTH and vague purpose vs a specific one ... which is going to be more efficient

So having private cameras in place like the EFT park, which are part of the security system and protection of the clients while be more efficient than monitoring a whole city
a la Big Brother ... you don't want a dead body in your arms or a video of a client with his mistress in the hands of his wife

Having Darling and his fellow UW kicked our of the park and shamed by the media will more than enough, since I suppose the UW is not Nazi Germany, but more like a Benevolent Nanny State Social Democracy ... so having your troops trying to commit murder in the EFT version of Disneyland is not the best public relations scenario

It is likely that Darling superiors will back tell him to bring his ass home ... unless those guys are serious about avenging Admiral Harris death .... but if they were they would have hired a professional assassin
