home work Security Camera
In many cities the use of video camera in public places is being increased in order to reduce crime, but some people believe that these measures restrict our individual freedom.
Do the benefits of increased security outweigh the drawbacks?
Today’s technology–driven world is constantly changing, requiring the public safety community to quickly evolve. An example of this is the rapid development of technology, specifically, by the use of video cameras, or CCTV, in public places. There are positives and negatives aspects in the useof public surveillance systems. Personally, I agree with the use of video cameras in public places and I will give examples of this in the paragraphs below.
Video cameras can act as an additional type of security. Many cities nowadays are required to have surveillance cameras to prevent illegal actions. By observing the video footage, the authorities can help some unfortunate victims of serious crime. Havingthe video cameras on the bus, at schools, bus stations, intersections and some dangerous areas give benefits to the public. If acitizen is being afflicted with harassment, fraud and violence, they can be helped with a public surveillance system as evidence, such as the video camera at the ATM machine or school.
Nevertheless, some people feel uncomfortable with video cameras because they cannot feel relaxed when they think they are being filmed and have not done anything wrong.It has been stated that certain people dislike their movements being watched closely every minute and, as a result, they voted against camera systems.
In conclusion, the purpose of camera monitoring is to deter crime and to protect the safety and property, and for investigations of criminal and serious crime. Although there are some drawbacks when video cameras are used in public places, I believe that the public should encourage and support the benefits of camera systems for safer place in the future.
