we had 15 megapixel cameras wired into DHS all over my home in arizona way back in 2010 and could barely get anybody upset about them even though we have local (actual) leftist groups, antifa, etc. there was only one person destroying any cameras and they were never caught (don't ask how I know)

I know it's not exactly the same right now as in 2010 but materially the cameras were the exact same shit so you can posit it's not about the cameras for a lot of people, they don't intrinsically value privacy from omniscent surveillance. they tolerated it quite well before.
