Given that:
- there are strict laws about what surveillance video can be used for
- surveillance video is rarely abused
- people with video cameras are a whole lot more likely to upload me to youtube and facebook (where I'll stay forever, possibly with nasty comments both by the uploader and commenters)
- while surveillance video will most likely be deleted within 14 days or 3 months or something
I'll happily
- take 10 surveillance cameras
- over one random person pointing filming me
- today
That said, I think there might be too much surveillance. And it might be dangerous in the future.
The person who wants to make a funny video with me is however a more imminent threat.
- JadeNB 8y ago> surveillance video is rarely abused What makes you believe this? I am cynical and suspect it happens all the time, but I doubt either of us knows.
- another-cuppa 8y agoThat is probably why people think there is a difference. But it's completely illogical. How do you think someone is going to "abuse" the footage? You say uploading to Youtube but there's all kinds of potentially embarrassing CCTV footage all over Youtube. Maybe there is some other kind of abuse possible, but you'd never know about it, just like you'd never know if someone is abusing the CCTV footage.
