Who Watches The Watchers In Surveillance Society? - Yahoo! News
"Intelligent video?"
Yeah, right.
It's impossible for a camera to prevent crime or anything else. All cameras do is capture potential criminal activity. But, even with cameras, how many videotaped crimes STILL go unsolved? The potential for abuse is clearly higher than the risk of having no cameras at all. The video images shown on TV just create an environment of fear, which perpetuates the desire for more cameras by people who lack critical thinking skills.
Eventually we'll have so many cameras, your every move willbe caught on tape. Worse yet, there will be a law against everything. So, theoretically, everyone will be a documented criminal. Step out of line once, say the wrong thing to the wrong person and BAM! All that videotape of you breaking laws comes out, and you get locked up.
