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

Add Jan 6 to that and people are more likely to back away from the blue now with a cautious eye.
Crack open any history book. The police had never sided with the people in the history of ever.
Back the blue should be frick the blue.

Most of us aren't considered criminals.....yet.
Pass a law, create thousands of instant "criminals" to surveil.

NOPD has this thing where they lift up a cop in a little glassed-in box to get a bird's eye view. Always thought you'd feel like a raging pussy doing that, though.
