Surveillance
Although lately everyone has been focusing on the negatives of surveillance I think there is also a lot of positivity. For example, if a someone were to be attacked in the middle of a parking lot and beaten half to death then that victim would eventually call the police and the police will scan the area for cameras and once found they can review the tapes to discover what truly happened and upon further investigation be able to to identify the criminal in order to get him off of the streets. Another importance would be if there was a bank robbery and hostages were taken then the FBI would be able to access the cameras within the bank live in an attempt to end the situation and save as many lives as possible. There is always going to be something bad and something good whenever it comes to these types of things. A negativity would be the invasion of privacy. Many people don't like the fact that there is a camera nearby their home because they believe that someone may be lurking on the other side. Many people also believe that on cellphones having GPS is an open door to stalkers or murderers, but what they don't see is the fact that if some sort of emergency happened where they tripped over a rock and bust their head and passed out, that same exact GPS would be used for the police to help locate that person and save their life. If people were to realize the positives and perks of the rise of surveillance, they may begin to understand that it isn't such a bad thing.

I agree michelle, there are perks and cons on surveillance. surveillance can not always be a bad thing because like you said if you're in a bad situation it can help rescuers to track you so you can get help or better yet be found. Also, as you said there will always be people against and people for these things and whether surveillance should be allowed or not is always going to be a problem.
ReplyDeleteRegarding the idea of surveillance I would have to say that the pros definitely overwhelm the cons. Surveillance was equipped throughout our country in order to help protect the American public, and keep the majority of the common people safe. Cameras and other types surveillance have stopped many types of terrorism or criminal activities throughout our communities. Although people may feel like the government goes too far and becomes intrusive with some surveillance, they need to understand that it is for safety purposes and they should not fret about the government spying or being nosy.
