Just about everyone needs privacy rights and most care about those rights for themselves.

I don't think that's true in practice, no. Most people take the "I have nothing to hide" approach, and, sadly, the lives of most people are so uneventful that that's actually true.

That's probably true. The issue is that people with something to hide, need the other people to hide their mundane stuff so that the people with things to hide, don't stand out.

Based on more than a handful of videos I have seen, the reason for having security cameras could be just as much about protecting you from police/the legal system as it is about protecting you for insurance purposes and for dissuading criminals.
