Maybe in high population areas, most exits don't have any infrastructure nearby. Hell a lot barely have signs and just dump you into not much more than a back road.

There is also a disturbing "community policing" (SURVEILLANCE) program being pushed by cops called FUSUS that allows cops to look at the cameras and their recordings of businesses, schools, churches etc. Their network of cop-viewable private surveillance cameras is already large in the USA and starting to expand to the UK. I found out when they asked to put one of their boxes in my company's network to have access to our cameras. We told them "NO."

This means Big Brother is really watching now, literally watching us on (potentially) any camera in public.
