Take it for what it's worth. This is hearsay from a colleague that lived in Chicago back then...
Back in early 2000's or so Chicago started taking photos at intersections with lights to ticket traffic violations. When the plan was announced a hue and cry went up that the data could be used to track people even if there were no traffic violations. The city announced they wouldn't ever use the data for that purpose. Within 2 years it was the most subpoenaed information in criminal and civil (especially divorce) cases.
He also stated that ATM machines at some point started having 2 cameras; one to image the person at the ATM and one looking past them (ostensibly to get an image of a robber). The latter camera data was also included in subpoenas to track a person's location.
I don't personally know if any of this is true but it doesn't fall too far outside the realm of possibility. Wait - is that a black helicopter over there?

Not quite everyone knows him, but he was Stanley Kubrick's right hand for several decades, carrying a huge workload. A fantastic documentary speaks of his work: Filmworker (2017) - IMDb[^] and is recommended for all who are into Kubrick. (And I rarely use "fantastic")

A truly horrible film, I actually had no idea of the answer until I started typing my response and it came to me, good clue
