Topic: "Traffic Wardens Get Video Cameras"

In Britain, nowadays, camera(CCTV camera) is set everywhere especially on a public utility and there is no days which people does`t be watched by camera.
The merits of camera, of course, are the prevention of crime and the proof of crime.In Westminster traffic wardens puts a miniature camera on their heads and cracks down on offenders. Camera functions as deterrent effect; it protects traffic wardens from offenders who resists and tries to do violence to them.
In reverse, the demerits is this system itself that camera watches people all day. Because this is an invasion of privacy for innocent people and they feel any stresses. From these reasons there are lots people who opposes this system.Indeed i know that they are afraid of an abuse of tape recording, but i think that it`s better than nothing; than to live without a weapon in a present world with a lot danger.Because camera becomes a deterrent power not only in a tape recording but in act itself of watching. In other words, innocent people could stay on their guard because of a tension that they are watched .So they need have a consciousness that it`s possible for all people to be involved in crimes.
I want to introduce this system in Japan too.My teacher said Japan is very safe country.Of course i think so too. Japan is very safe and clean compared with other countries.However, in Japan, almost every days, there is a people who die in crime.I think if the victim is my family member or friends...I`m afraid of this than camera.There is woman who says next comment in a question"Does it worry you at all, being watched?"
-"No, not in the slightest."and "...Well, if you've got nothing to hide, what's the problem?"I think that`s Right! i think so too.

In information society; it`s possible to leak easily our personal information,the introduction of this system is very serious problem and people cannot help being between the pros and the cons.
I think the person who determines such low is in a hard lot. i`m lucky not to have a brain to become a person like them....oops! this is a joke...

  1. Good post! It's important to give an opinion and you did that. I don't want to feel like I am a potential criminal, but I can also sympathise with the woman who said 'if you've got nothing to hide, why worry'?

    But I don't like being watched!
