Steve, While this is true, it is not static. As I'm sure you are aware, laws change. What was once legal may become illegal and vice versa. I may have camera's at intersections, only (ostensibly) for the purpose of catching traffic violators. Then, hey, a "crime" was committed near an intersection and we caught it on camera. But that "crime" may become something in the future that we may not even imagine today nor agree with when it occurs.

And remember, that in this country - and many others I believe - once it has been made law, it is very difficult to impossible to remove, often just because we don't feel comfortable discussing it publicly. Maybe because we have what we perceive as a minority view or it has become politically incorrect.
