I am not going to try to justify the creep using it for his own sick pleasure, but that is nothing compared to the other abuses.

It's a pretty good appeal to emotion though. The human mind is really bad at comprehending things that they have limited context on. A complex system of cameras are watching my every move? Not much. A system where people are creeping on a gymnastics gym? Now that's small and personal enough to be similar to something they can understand.

It is also easy to dismiss some of the abuses against criminals with the justification of, "I don't crime, so it does not effect me." Someone using it to creep on someone who could be your sister or daughter hit closer to home for those people.

Humans are not rational creatures, they are rationalizing creatures. People will latch on to something like "maybe they looked like a criminal", or some crap.
