Not all surveillance has the ability to follow an individual back in time and space to any arbitrary position.
Maybe I’m not using the right term but I’m describing this kind of whole-picture surveillance that was perfected with surveillance drones in Iraq and Afghanistan and is (Foucault’s Boomerang style) now being established in the major metropoles.

For me, (not trying to talk shit on you personally), I consider that ability to be the outcome of a properly configured surveillance system. Being able to trace the components of the event (including a person of interest) both forward and backward in time in order to investigate.
It’s not being able to trace forward and back in time alone that is significant, but across time and space, such that you find footage of a crime and trace the criminal’s life backwards to their doorstep (or hostel). To do that across a city requires complete networked coverage, and is not normal - most cities can’t do that. That type of surveillance technology is relatively new.
The bus didn’t drop him off at the scene of the crime. Tracing his movements back multiple days across the city is extremely complicated and requires a complete surveillance of the whole city.

at least it doesn’t seem like they have any information/footage of him in Atlanta

If you have surveillance of which bus he got off, you know where and when it came from. Not that complicated
