In the UK, though I have traveled around quite a lot.
Why is it relevant to this question?

The UK has the most cameras of any country in the world, though there
is now the beginnings of a reaction against them. i.e millions spent
for very, very few crimes solved. People are starting to realize that
it is mostly security theatre and the money could be better spent
elsewhere..

Like the millions spent on the TSA. Did you know that there are now
about half a million people on the terrorist watch database in the US?
So many terrorists, so little time to watch them all.
And all the people so unfortunate as to have the same name as a
'terrorist' are subjected to continual hassles whenever they fly.
