Are there too many...........?

[bobmac]

CCTV cameras.
They're in shops, streets, car parks........it seems they are watching you all day, every day. You cant step out of your front door without someone knowing where you are and where you're going.

Do you not worry about it as 'you have nothing to hide' or do you think there should be less 'Big brother is watching'?

 

[GreiginFife]

I thought this was going to be "..... posts with incomplete titles?" I feel quite disappointed

I dont mind CCTV, I generally dont so anything worth the operators paying any heed to.
Although me and a few mates did deliberately start acting odd around the new cameras in Dunfermline town centre a number of years ago. Mainly just drunk highjinx, wandering in and out of the line of sight, disappearing and popping up 4 cameras away. Thay kind of think that alcohol makes funny.

If you have nothing to hide then they are no issues

Can'certainly see the need for them these days

Big brother can watch our boring lives all he wants. I think it helps loads in cities where it helps bust up crime/anti social behaviour etc.

I've no issue with it at all

I wouldn't have a problem with it if they were distributed equally. They aren't. They are all over 'poorer areas', contributing to the creation of prison-like schemes where social mobility is already hampered and communities are victimised further. All in the aim of demonising those at the lower end of the socioeconomic scale.

I'm in the big brother is watching camp.

The Stasi would have loved them.

 

[Slime]

I'm sure they do far more good than harm, for that reason I have no problem with them.
Speed cameras on the other hand .............................


Slime.

CCTV in areas of regular crime , a YES from me.

It is interesting that many people are happy updating Facetube every 5 minutes with what they are doing in their banal lives but baulk at the idea of CCTV cameras. How bizarre!

I would love them to put one right outside my house. I would be on to my car insurance company first thing looking for a reduction.

If it hasn't happened already it won't be long until the sky is full of those mini drones flying about watching us.

 

[Doon frae Troon]

I am quite happy to see cameras.
Always a wee bit suspicious of those who don't like them.

 

[bladeplayer]

All goo the more OFFICIAL ones the better ..

That'll be me then...
Naturally suspicious of the ways 'authority' abuse their use...

Cameras hidden in bricks to check if your are leaving your rubbish out, for collection, too early... What's that all about?

When I hit 25 my life stopped being interesting enough to worry about CCTV or that anyone would be interested in the microcosm of my day to day banality...
At least I have golf to keep me cheery!!

 

[HomerJSimpson]

Having lived in London for many years and working in a reasonably big town (Reading) I am oblivious to them. I guess their presence is reassuring should anything happen but I never really cared and don't feel any "liberty" is infringed.

I don't think my life was ever interesting enough! It'd probably be classed as boring now but I like it! (and that's the only important thing really!)
