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)
Looking at other comments, clearly I’m in the minority that I simply feel watched when there’s a camera that I know is aimed at me right now. I can’t know if someone’s watching, or watching it back later. I’m not doing anything nefarious, not more than picking my nose perhaps, but it’s not like everyone’s given a feed of all cameras that exist either. Clearly people don’t want to just be watched insofar as it is avoidable
Most of the time I don’t know that a camera is filming me and ignorance is bliss. And obviously facial recognition and license plate scanning, as mentioned in other comments, goes even further. But I’m also simply not super happy with the ubiquity of cameras on every street and every publicly accessible place and vehicle you use, even if I see their benefits as well
