Something occurred to me last night (or rather, this morning I suppose) while I was writing, and I realised that I was making pretty big assumptions based on my own knowledge. See, in UK, or, I suppose specifically, London, if a person is spyed on CCTV in say, Waterloo, it's not inconceivable that a CCTV operator could follow them through the streets to their destination. We're that well covered by cameras that I wouldn't have a problem with sticking that in a story.

My question, to the Americans on my flist, is this: how equally probable is that to happen in a major US city, like LA or DC? I realise that the UK is pretty heavily surveilled, the most CCTVed country on Earth (Big Brother is watching us and we try not to think too hard about it). I was just curious if this could happen in the US?
