Surveillance Cameras


I feel that surveillance cameras should not be put up only because they don’t take good pictures unless it’s a license plate and its doing nothing but keeping tabs on everybody in the world so the government can keep control and u have no privacy unless u at home.

EX:

No, video surveillance cameras in public places is not a good idea because they would invade people's privacy at every turn and it would make going out in public feel like being in a bank.

The benefits do not outweigh the draw backs when it comes to public surveillance. We would only have the word of some governmental official that they would not abuse the system, and it would only be good as the quality of the cameras installed. If they were grainy black and white cameras like found in most gas stations they would fail to be of any use any ways. Those always take such blurry pictures that even the police cannot identify a criminal after the fact. Public cameras would stop almost no real crimes, all they would do is give the government a way to keep an eye on you all the time and know every single thing you do outside of your home. - H_Baird

I don't think that video surveillance cameras in public places are a good idea because it is an infringement on your civil liberties. Why film innocent people doing nothing criminal in public places. Next, they'll be putting them in public restrooms. - MycCra2ii
