Saying these are DHS spy cameras is misleading. DHS and other government agencies (like the DoJ's COPS Program) provides grants to lots of police departments so they can buy technology, like video surveillance.
That police cruisers can access municipal cameras (whether funded by local businesses, local tax revenue or federal subsidies) is a common and well known implementation.
Beyond that, what is the real concern here? Unless you are simply objecting to any publicly owned and managed cameras, which is something much more fundamental.
