Update: A Twitter follower shared this recent article about the “frightening” numbers of cameras in Chicago.

The city has added 500 security cameras under Emanuel and now has a “federated system” of 22,000 cameras citywide, said Gary Schenkel, executive director of the Office of Emergency Management and Communications.
