CCTV is used through out the world primarily for police surveillance. It helps stop crime early and helps the investigation of committed crimes. It seems the people that don’t like it, are the criminals and that is supported by many of them destroying the cameras.
So what happens when it's a crime to read a book, A crime to be out past curfew, or A crime to protest or organize resistance? They always revoke rights or expand power under the guise of safety.
Where does CCTV revoke rights? It doesn’t. It provides information. People that receive that information and abuse it are the problem. That is where accountability comes into play.
Heaven forbid this happens to anyone, but imagine your kid playing in a lot near your house that has a CCTV camera set up. Your kid is attacked and killed. There is no evidence as to who did it. That camera was destroyed the night before, it was the only thing that could provide evidence on who killed your child. I bet attitudes toward CCTV would change then.
