Legislature Building? Around Courthouses? Banks? Public Transit? Schools? Traffic? On the Streets? Should they exist in all of these places, only some of them, or none at all? What’s your opinion?
(Btw: I remember my highschool had them, felt kinda creepy since I distrust the school admin, like… even the other places with cameras didn’t feel as weird)
I’m a privacy advocate, but I do not believe that the cameras themselves are the main threat to privacy, and do not necessarily have a problem with cameras placed in any of the locations you listed, given the following conditions:
The camera system is closed circuit with the footage stored securely on a device on the premises, not connected to or stored on the internet, not combined and analyzed automatically/algorithmically with other footage and data, and the footage is deleted or overwritten after a reasonable period of time.
I believe the main threats to privacy involve how the footage is stored and analyzed.
