Cameras in every home would kill millions. Literally.
Sure, if you contract out the installation to the lowest bidder, I can imagine that there would be a few instances of cameras falling off their mounting and hitting people in the head, or maybe causing electrical fires. I doubt there would be millions of such incidents, though.
