I am still torn on this issue. On one level, it's kind of creepy to be constantly watched. But at the same time, you are out in public, and one should not expect privacy when in public. These cctv systems are not used for malicious purposes, they just aid in protection of the public by making identification that much quicker. The police could still get the same (albeit less reliable) data through interrogation, and standing officers. CCTV is a tool tht makes that less necessary.
But...for some reason we have an inborn paranoia about being recorded.
Meh.
