| Isn't England using CCTV far more than the U.S.? That's the impression I've gotten.
I think it decreases my perception of personal freedom more than it actually detracts from it. I still do what I want. What I do in public isn't anything that would cause me grief if caught on camera. What I do at home is another story, and why I don't have a webcam. Perhaps I don't object as much as some because a) I see the need for cameras on banks, parking lots, etc. and b) my freedoms are already somewhat restricted, so I'm already aware that my actions may be monitored at any time without my consent. That's why I do very little in public that could in any way be considered illegal. |
