Free access would kinda hinder law enforcement a little because of how things work. Better that they pay token fee to use the data. This gives certain of them access without all the checks and balances of privacy protections like subpoenas and what not. Free access would allow any cop to stalk their partner that left them because of domestic abuse. Then the cops can say they are being responsible while getting all the benefits of a police state without as much risk of PR fallout.

"Sure are some nice cameras you instat there. Would be a real shame if someone confiscated the network and installed face recognition on it."
