Invasion of Privacy? Ref: Pg 18

I feel as though privacy is on a fence between freedom of speech and others which require public to disclose private information! Do we still have the right to be let alone!

The camera.. to my Fav! subject...<lol>
There are 'surveillance' cameras everywhere, schools, banks, sidewalks, airports, office buildings, washrooms, locker rooms, etc.. There is no limit under the laws which govern these facilities to put up cameras. Some think that having camera is great monitoring device to prevent criminal activities but I think it's an invasion of privacy.

I think you have somewhat answered the question in above few lines.

Except for lockers and washrooms, I guess most of the places where cameras are installed are fairly public right? I do not expect privacy in public places thus I do not see any harm in those places except for lockers and washrooms. Even though they are for public use, people who use it would definitely prefer it to be private about their business. But assuming (the worst) that one in five who uses that locker is a criminal, then entire private affair becomes a moot point, no?

I am more paranoid about misusing this information about public which is far more dangerous than disclosing it. Every ATM machine has a camera installed in front of it which totally freaks me out. I know that they are not aware of what we type and stuff, but still!

In the end its all about balance I guess.

This was surely an unexpected surprise visit... though a good one! :)

Agree with you to some extend but not full, as I do mind being watched and that too without my knowledge. The free society we trust with freedom of movement, choice and self-reliance, thus is invaded and it gives a false sense of security.

With current state-of-art that technology offers to withdraw money from an ATM with simple scan of your eyes, and no bank cards are needed! To your point, it is pretty freaky. :)
