I can't speak for all areas of the state, but Lafayette area in particular has been inundated with privately owned cameras being installed on seemingly every road in Lafayette Parish. Most are owned by a wealthy business owner/private citizen names Brooks Bernard. The entrance to his compound across from Pepin's at the corner of W. Broussard Rd. and Ridge Rd. in Lafayette looks like the entrance to Fort Knox.
From what I gather, he (his company "Crime Fighters of Louisiana") started putting all these cameras up on his own dime, and allowed law enforcement access to his footage for free. Reminds me of a drug dealer giving away the first hit for free, knowing once they're addicted to your product they have no choice but to come back to you for more.
Here are a few links to some local news articles on the subject
