New technology can give cops instant access to video from homes and businesses.

The goal, cops say, is to make it easier to catch criminals, although there are plenty of privacy groups who say the idea is a bad one.

“Because if we do get [criminals] on video, then we are going to put it out to the world that we now have your photograph and that we are looking for you,” Geneva Bosques of the Freemont Police Department in the San Francisco area told KPIX.
