I, for one, do not want people plugging their security cameras directly into the police department, especially when they capture public and semi-public spaces.
To add to the discussion, I haven't seen anyone mention that this will effectively give the police departments the ability to do surveillance without a warrant
Congrats, you probably don't live in a high crime area. The people opting in to these services definitely want them, and usually because they were victimized in the past.
It's unfortunate that constitutional rights are in constant tension with surveillance, isn't it? Technology and people's irrational fears have been pushing that balance in pretty much one direction only.
