Invasion of privacy?
Surveillance cameras are very hard evidence and provide security. The use of such cameras has raised a great deal of legal debate. Many people feels that covert cameras violate their privacy rights. The concern over these cameras in the workplace and other public arenas has led to the need for invasion of privacy laws.
In a non-workplace setting, invasion of privacy due to surveillance is also an issue. Many private investigators have to follow rules to avoid being taken to a court of law for invasion of privacy. Surveillance cannot take place in a private area such as bedroom, and etc. including audio is also illegal. If the employee is using a camera in a public area, that is one thing. Cameras in the bathroom present a completely different matter, and violate the rights of privacy. It isn't illegal for a parent to use a covert camera to survey their nanny but the nanny may regard this as invasion of her privacy. Webcams are also a negative aspect to inexpensive cameras, while where created to allow people to talk to each other on face to face without actually being in the same place, they are now used for different purposes. Cameras also create a false sense of security. If you have cameras watching everything you assume that either no one will do anything or they will be caught. Also the image on the monitor isn't always accurate, as can be seen in many movies it isn't as hard as one would think to change the camera monitors to play a loop where nothing is out of place.
The more i drive down the more popular roads in Florida, Mainly closer to Daytona, i'm starting to see more and more cameras. I'm not sure whether or not you can consider this invasion of privacy or what.
I seen this stuff on Yahoo when i opened it up a few days ago. I'll leave a link at the bottom of this to the article i read about it. which is where i kind of got my info from. so credit to Mr. Paul Payne.
