security cameras
Oh my word! It's all over the news in today's world --- surveillance cameras
are everywhere. There is serious surveillance security
in every bank, security
cameras in the grocery stores and shopping malls and just
your basic security
systems in place almost everywhere we go these days.
Surveillance security is all about what is happening to all of us these
days. I personally am fine with the fact that I can just be parked
behind my local McDonald's smoking a cigarette after my Happy Meal and
there are security cameras
in place that can see me, that can see the size of my body if I get out
of the car (wide angle lenses only), that can also see my car, the
color of clothes I am wearing, and the time of day or night and the day
of the week that I was there. I am just fine with that but many people
think it is a breach of our privacy. If I could afford it and if it
were available to me, I'd have a surveillance camera on my house and
something on my car, like a surveillance security system of some kind
because I am not the kind of person that is out there trying to do some
wrongdoing of some kind. And if there is someone else out there that is
up to no darn good, I'd love to be able to have some kind of security
system in place that could help the police identify them and catch them
and punish them. I don't care if I'm in the party district of my town
and there are just surveillance cameras watching people walking up and
down the street. Some people have a hard time with that concept ---
like here we are with Big Brother watching us. Well, if I pick my nose
or scratch my butt on camera, I just really don't give a damn. But if I
am in the party district of my town and there are pick-pockets or
people dealing drugs or knocking people on the head and robbing them or
shoving them into some dark scary place and raping them, then I TOTALLY
want those people to be seen and possibly caught and you know, badly
punished. And if I am the victim, let me figure out the punishment for
the perpetrator based on the degree of the crime. I can guarantee you
my punishment would be a great deal more severe than they would get if
they got to the stage where they are going before a judge or a jury.
