Los Angeles: it’s mostly a place where dreams go to die. However, it’s also a place where, even if you never make it to the silver screen, you’ll still always be on camera! That’s because L.A. is one of the most surveilled places on the planet, according to Comparitech’s study. That includes some 22,327 cameras for about 3,979,576 people, which equals some 5.61 cameras per 1,000 people.
