Public video surveillanceINTRODUCTIONToday's technology has changed the way we live. It has changed the way we see the environment, act when we are in public, and how we carry out our daily activities. Computers have greatly increased our abilities to achieve our goals much faster. Human interaction between people has decreased due to this technology. Change continues every day with an endless flow of new ideas and ways of doing things. There seems to be no end to the site. This technology is also changing our moral and ethical values ​​along with how we use them. The “burden of proof” has a new meaning because of surveillance cameras. Most of us will agree that surveillance cameras are a good idea. These cameras provide a crime deterrent and provide security to public buildings and other areas. Law enforcement uses surveillance cameras to track and capture criminals, as evidence in court, and as protection for themselves and the public. Surveillance cameras can also be used for educational purposes. X-ray cameras have the ability to detect weapons in luggage at our airports and other public buildings. They now have cameras mounted above traffic lights to detect red light runners with ways to send red light violators their tickets in the post. There must be an endless list of ways you can use cameras. We also have satellites in space equipped with cameras that help us spy on other countries. Most of us will agree that video surveillance technology is important and necessary to largely improve our lifestyles. PROFESSIONAL SURVEILLANCE MATTERS PROTECTION OF PEOPLE AND PROPERTY, which includes the general public and law enforcement. This kind of survival... middle of paper... without cameras affects everyone. It is for the common good of all that we continue to use it. It gave our nation a sense of security that we have become accustomed to because it improved our justice system.
