Cameras in Public Places
Q1. List all the places you traveled this past week where you likely appeared on a closed-circuit television. Do you believe your environment was safer with CCTV? Explain?
Over the course of the past week, I have been in stores had CCTV. Overall, I did not feel that these stores were high-risk environments to begin with. Arguably, this may have made the environments safer for the cashiers who worked there as the presence of cameras can act as a deterrent to theft, especially if the cashiers are dealing with expensive merchandise or cash transactions.
From my own personal perspective, however, while it may have discouraged shoplifting (and therefore ensured that the price of goods did not go up due to stealing), I did not necessarily feel safer because of the CCTV. The time I spent engaging in my transactions in these stores was very brief. I may have felt differently if I was in a higher-risk environment like an airport or public transportation and appreciated the cameras more. I do feel safer in a bank if I see a CCTV and I am using an ATM machine. Of course, it is also possible I was videoed in CCTV without my knowledge in a public area.
Q2. Do you believe CCTV in public places such as schools (including classrooms), shopping malls, airports, parking lots, etc....
…not be allowed? Explain.CCTV should not be permitted where people may be intimately exposed, such as dressing rooms and doctors offices. Any safety concerns can easily be addressed by having surveillance in waiting rooms or elsewhere in the store. Also, semi-private locations such as counselling sessions should not be recorded without the individuals stated permission. Personal hotel rooms, gym locker rooms, and monitoring employee work areas to ensure they are not taking too many breaks is also problematic, however (Surveillance cameras, 2022). Even though these are public spaces, they could be used to personally humiliate or discipline someone, and if there is the suspicion of illegal activity going on, a warrant should be needed. Or, in the…

Then, the patient can receive free care or referrals to specialists from the doctor. GPs thus can provide comprehensive data regarding patients with a variety of conditions, from a wide range of demographic groups. Currently, 3,500 GP practices, encompassing a population of 23 million patients, contribute to the national QSurveillance database.

This has the advantage of showing the suspect in different profiles. But there have also been accusations that in-person lineups may be biased, if they present the suspect with persons who are not sufficiently 'like' the accused. Also, the use of double-blind presentations, where the officers conducting the lineup do no know who the suspect is, might be advisable to dilute the potential for biased or swayed eyewitness identification.
In Part II of her book The Age of Surveillance Capitalism, Zuboff (2019) lays out how the advance of surveillance capitalism has unfolded and where it is headed. In chapters 7 and 8, she makes two very important points—one practical and the other ideological—that necessarily serve as the framework for the advance of surveillance capitalism. The practical point is this: the world has become so immersed in the Internet that
