having just discussed this in the UK section,I want to debate this in the general section.How do you feel about the cameras surveying citizens like in Britian?Would you accept this?

Personally I get angry at the thought of this,the nannying living under a microscope conditions that they have.Some say "well if you don't do anything wrong you don't have anything to worry about" but I dislike this thought.


They feel safer with these electric eyes,but to me I would want another tea party this time with cameras being thrown into the ocean.


I could not handle seeing cameras spying on us everywhere we go even though there are private security cameras everywhere,having government cameras would anger me.

Address the causes of crime, instead of watching people commit them. There are fundamental, underlying defects in the social organization that has evolved in the modern world, and that cancer has its symptoms. Everybody knows what the symptons are, they have been looked at to death, and more cameras will not solve the problem. The modern industrialized, technological, economic social order has broken. How do we fis it? With millions of cameras, far more than anybody can possibly monitor, that can be used randomly and haphazardly to lead an expanding police state to say "Let's get him!". Using the prosecution of a jaywalker to put a bandaid on moral bankruptcy.
