Are security cameras invasion of privacy?
Controversy has arisen regarding the question whether or not surveillance cameras are a threat to personal privacy. Some pro-privacy advocates deem such camera systems as the “technical evil eye”, while the rest counter-argue that they promote public security, therefore inextricable. My opinion leans towards the latter, despite both sides having valid points.
Inarguably, misuse of video cameras may lead to personal data and information leakage -one pertinent issue in this digital era. Once a person’s identifying characteristics or important identity papers are recorded, their footage could be collected by the system administrators, which are easily distorted and used against said person’s will. Extreme cases include blackmailing, theft, discrimination and reputational damage, none of which is less hazardous than another. On a much broader scale, intruding on important data could cause the collapse of an entire company or corporate entity, potentially damaging the national economy at large.
Despite pitfalls to privacy, the immense benefits of surveillance cameras are not to be ignored, one of which is in regards to public security. These cameras are undeniably excellent crime deterrents in both households and public institutions (banks or jewelry shops, for example), assisting humans in protecting properties against any criminals, intruders or vandals. Moreover, many modern CCTVs nowadays are equipped with mobile connectivity which allows them to send any detected signals of crime in the neighboring area to homeowners, instilling a sense of safety among inhabitants. A myriad of researches have proven that since the utilization of CCTVs, crime rates have plunged significantly, resulting in a safe and secure inhabiting environment.
In brief, each side of the argument has its own merits. Security cameras, as do any other technological devices, can bring about immense advantages to humanity if handled with caution. To circumvent potential dangers, cameras should only be installed in public areas and their presence should be made known to all citizens.
