I do understand the problem in "watching the watchers". My point is that the solution should not be to add more of the thing that caused the problem in the first place. If we do, then it just becomes a race to who can have the most surveillance of the most people in the most places.
Edit: Claiming "it's happening anyway, so just accept it" is the wrong way to approach this. Why shouldn't we try to make things better?
- seanflyon 12y agoWe are trying to make things better and I think that police wearing cameras does in fact make things better. We are trying to consider both the negative and positive consequences of new technology. Also the problem these cameras are trying to solve is police brutality/abuse. Surveillance is not what caused that problem in the first place.
- mkhalil 12y agoIf your complaining about being on camera in public spaces, that a whole separate issue. My opinion: It's more helpful than hurtful. The benefits far outweigh the cost. But that's a discussion for another day.
