Interesting interpretation. SCOTUS upheld the right of the state to place surveillance cameras in public areas since no one can claim an expectation of privacy in those areas. They also have held that the state may place surveillance equipment on property under its control and therefore have the right to conduct such surveillance on those who willingly enter those areas.
See Katz, it is linked to in a prior post.
No one is arguing video cameras, that is not what the SPO-7 is.
