Opposing surveillance cameras
Recently many US cities started installing surveillance cameras on their streets. The reason is that local authorities are trying to fight crime with the help of these devices, which will be very helpful to law enforcement personnel. Usually cameras are placed in different areas of town, especially in those with high crime rate. But at this moment I've read a lot of negative comments from local residents. People don't like the idea if installing neither surveillance cameras nor any other video recording devices. They claim their right for private space, individual privacy and say about violation of their basic civil rights and liberties.
I'm not an expert, but to my mind, all lawful means are god for reaching a definite goal, not to mention that it's all for nation's good ....
