A security camera and Rep. Lauren Boebert
Rep. Lauren Boebert's caught-on-camera moment shouldn't come as a surprise.
  • By some estimates, there are tens of millions of surveillance cameras in the United States. 
  • So it's no surprise that Rep. Lauren Boebert was caught vaping and getting handsy with a date at a Denver theater last week.
  • "In most of the US, CCTV cameras have proliferated over the past few decades," an expert told Insider.

Surveillance cameras seem like they're everywhere — probably because they are.
