These businesses that agree could still turn their video over to police so what's the big deal.

I agree, but the government putting in their own cameras stinks of a Police State. The government could then pick and choose who they want to prosecute. Currently they prosecute, sentence, and then parole, all in one operation. That doesn't curb crime either.
Policy doesn't define crime, that's the job of legislature. Businesses set up what level of agreeance they have to law enforcement accessing cameras through FUSUS. Trust comes from the community side as well; stop believing the "police are bogeyman all the time" fairytale.

The businesses that are for the Fusus video system would not have to worry if the accepted the Fusus video system

Because we need it to assist with catching the criminals to keep our community safer. Witnesses are afraid to come forward, and the police are short handed.

The govt has facial recognition of all the domestic terrorists in Portland Or. but won't prosecute them, but will go after innocent mothers at school board meetings. Go figure, you may be the next one arrested. Your own words from three months ago. "Privacy concerns and government over reach!" LGB
