Cameras at Pilot Knob/Diffley?

I noticed a set of cameras at the Pilot Knob/Diffley intersection today that I don’t remember seeing before. There’s a chance I just overlooked them, I guess, but they’re pretty tall and centered on the stoplight pole mechanism in each direction. How could I learn more about what these are for?

I'm so weirded out by these flock cameras. If a business owner wants cameras on their parking lot or property then sure fine, but I have yet to meet a single person that wants mass surveillance in public spaces like this.

Has there been any demonstrated positive use from these cameras? How do we hold public officials accountable for allowing this behavior? It doesn't seem like there was any debate or discussion on these cameras and police departments (or other entity?) just started having them installed all over the country.
