The Portland Police Bureau is asking homeowners and businesses with
security cameras to register them - so cops can quickly investigate
crimes.

Police say the registry program is voluntary and cameras can be removed
from the registry at any time.
Also, registering doesn't mean police have automatic access to footage on
the cameras.

Some privacy groups have spoken out against the idea, saying it
contributes to a feeling that Big Brother is always watching.

The idea sounds good - a voluntary registering with
owners right of refusal.

As to
contributes to a feeling that Big Brother is always watching.
well, someone is very often watching.
And irritatingly, it generally is some one interested in
slamming all types of authority & getting rich.
