The larger question is...WHY, if you're not a criminal, should the government know where you are at any given time?
It's none of their business.

Traffic cams can now ID your car (by it's plates) and ticket you through the mail.
Illinois is doing that.. don't ask how I know.
You can't simply buy 200 cameras off the shelf,
you can't simply install that many cameras in a weekend.
Just the cost of getting people to install them is going to run into millions, and just agreeing where to put them is going to take months. Especially as some of them are going to need to be fitted to privately owned buildings, or to have power supplies and data cables running across privately owned buildings.
Then there's the privacy implications, for example, a lot of the massage business and spas are run by Asians, and their clients will NOT be happy at being filmed coming and going as these businesses are often (Rightly or wrongly) associated with vice.
I'm calling BS on this being in response to the recent allegations of attacks on Asians. In fact I'm calling BS on this whole thing having been planned after Covid. This looks has all the halmarks of something that started years ago but was recently completed.

I work with drones for a living and a few years ago there was an uproar over drones above your head. I was talking to one of my sons about it as I laughed and he said why are you laughing. I said lets count cameras from our house to the gym. I think we hit 100+ and I laughed again and said, so you are worried about one camera above your head?
He got the point well.
