When asked why someone might steal the cameras, Almeida [ police spokesperson ] said, "Based on what we've seen, if you pay attention nationwide, there's a big uproar in regard to cameras, government overwatch. So when you look at it from that standpoint, they're thinking Big Brother is paying attention on them 24/7, seven days a week. But in theory, what we're looking for is intel gathering for wanted subjects, missing persons, things like that. We're not out there looking for anybody every single day."
