Why protect the guilty?

Isn't it marvellous: as soon as something innovative and interesting is produced there has to be a group who will step in and try to scupper it.
Forgive my naivety, but why would innocent people object to having their faces and/or car numbers seen in a particular locality?
And when the police ask for photos that were taken at or before a criminal event, as they often do, where are these pictures to come from if the right to concealment is regarded as more important than the right to go out and about with a camera, whether in the street or in the sky?
