  • Abstract
    This essay provides a matrix for use by researchers and system designers as a heuristic device to assess the likely legality of the deployment of a surveillance camera system. After presenting the matrix the essay considers examples in which smart camera technology might enhance the venues for deployment of surveillance cameras. Lastly, the article speculates about legal risks that may confront smart camera technology as it becomes more sophisticated.
