CCTV camera's

CCTV is more practical to use to monitor a place or to watched over someone's property... hmmm... i think cctv is good to and must use to monitor property or business not to monitor one's action...

My mothers handbag was recently stolen from the place she worked,the cctv footage clearly shows a man entering the shop with no handbag and leaving it with my mothers handbag and yet the police said that they were able to do nothing as the footage did not actually show the man taking the bag from where it was inside.The cctv camera inside the shop showed the man leaving with the handbag but as it was taken from the office,the camera did not cover that section of the store.

Just like any other technologies, CCTV is no different in that it can be used for good or bad... If somebody uses a car, or any other vehicle, to run somebody over, that's not good... But in majority of the cases, vehicles are being used to help our daily lives... When cordless phone first came out, people could use a short wave radio to listen in on the conversation down the street, stealing credit card numbers & even worse things... CCTVs can be used for security & safety purpose... But then, it can be used to spy on someone... There are cameras all over the world & we're being watched & recorded without even knowing it... Some of the most common places for cameras are; traffic, banks, parks, court buildings, police buildings, malls, restaurants & etc... I can't really tell what they're there for but I'd like to think they're there for our safeties & securities more so than spying... That being said, I'm not naive enough to think that there's no spying going on around the world... I guess we gotta live with the bad along with good...
