Nowadays, CCTV

cameras

have been used for the express purpose of security. In many metropolitans,areas surveillance

cameras

are on increased to serve as a tool to reduce crime.

However

, some argued that these encroach upon the public’s liberty. The use of

such

cameras

can result in

such

minor problems but these problems could be overcome by following proper rules and regulations, and in a broader vision these devices are more fruitful for the public. To start with, it is argued that the installation of public surveillance devices has negative effects on dwellers, they invade the privacy of the individuals.

For instance

, when you are walking down the street and hanging out with your friends it makes full pictures of your private life and you are constantly being watched by authorities.

Moreover

, the recorded videos might be misused.

For example

, an individual’s pictures could be stolen or may be used for other purposes like sharing on the internet. A citizen has a right to move freely and enjoy their privacy.

On the other hand

, I believe that installing more surveillance

cameras

are beneficial for public safety. By monitoring public areas the rate of crime would be diminished.

For instance

, petty criminals like shoplifters are less likely to operate in areas of the city where they know that they are being watched. In conclusion placement of CCTV or video

cameras

have overweight advantages than disadvantages and these technologies help in decreasing the crime rate.
