To an extent I think it has. I say this because it’s easier to catch a criminal with surveillance videos than without them. However, sometimes there is not enough footage that was caught on tape to do good.

There’s always room for advancement though.

I think there is a limit to how much video surveillance we should have. Privacy is important

Nate

It goes both ways, inteligence is good until it becomes stalking or when the wrong people can use intelligence

Cherish

4/29/2019 10:06:35 am

I agree. There is a certain point where it does become stalking.

Will

Very true

Aimee

4/29/2019 10:10:12 am

I agree, Nate.

Nutt

That is a huge fear many people have.

Brandon Westfall

5/23/2019 10:15:04 am

I agree

Aimee

4/29/2019 10:04:22 am

I think certain aspects of video surveillance have become helpful, but it has also taken away some of our privacy.

Kiana Farnworth

I agree, our technology can be easily manipulated, which reduces our privacy.

Nick

4/29/2019 10:09:21 am

I agree completely.

Nate

4/29/2019 10:11:31 am

Great point, Aimee

Hailey Jo

4/29/2019 10:15:02 am

Agreed

Katelyn

4/29/2019 10:04:37 am

That depends on the person and their intentions with their usage. Video surveillance has the potential to harm and help someone.

Sarah

4/29/2019 10:08:40 am

It does have a lot to do with perspective.

Hailey Jo

4/29/2019 10:15:37 am

Agreed, it can go either way

Connor

4/29/2019 10:04:44 am

Yes because it has caught many criminals, but it has taken away from our freedom a little but has done more good than bad.

Nick

4/29/2019 10:08:33 am

I agree.

Nate

4/29/2019 10:11:59 am

Cool

James

4/29/2019 10:05:51 am

It has to an extent. It can help catch criminals but it can also be an invasion of privacy.

Connor

4/29/2019 10:14:28 am

Fascinating

Brandon Westfall

4/29/2019 10:06:24 am

I do think it has made the world slightly better. It assists in investigations and prevents theft. It is a breach on privacy though and it does allow people to monitor your actions.

Sarah

4/29/2019 10:09:49 am

Its weird to think about someone monitoring my actions.

Aimee

4/29/2019 10:10:45 am

I agree, it is both good and bad.

Brenna

4/29/2019 10:11:56 am

I agree that it does assist us in those ways.

Kiana Farnworth

4/29/2019 10:06:40 am

Yes, in the sense that we now have the ability to gather further evidence in a criminal sense, but no in the sense that the technology can be easily manipulated.

Cherish

4/29/2019 10:07:44 am

I fully agree. It helps in many ways but it does take away our privacy on certain levels.

Nutt

4/29/2019 10:15:08 am

Since the use of cameras first became popular people all over have found ways to exploit it.

Will

4/29/2019 10:06:56 am

Yes because it has caught a lot of criminals. But sometimes the cameras don’t catch all of what happened.

Sarah

4/29/2019 10:07:41 am

I think its been good. All of the surveillance has mad it easier for authorities to both catch criminals and check peoples alibis.

Katelyn

4/29/2019 10:09:42 am

Definitely makes the job easier and more reliable.

Brenna

4/29/2019 10:10:23 am

I agree, it has helped us with crime.

Kayla

4/29/2019 10:10:55 am

It does help catch the bad guys

Nick

4/29/2019 10:08:04 am

Yes, for certain cases it has but it can also be used against us.

Brenna

4/29/2019 10:09:11 am

I think it has made the world a better place because it has helped us catch criminals but we have given up some of our privacy.

Kayla

4/29/2019 10:11:14 am

That is true

Kayla

4/29/2019 10:09:48 am

Yes and no. Yes because it has helped so many people. But no because of how it is used against us. It depends on the situation too.

Kiana Farnworth

4/29/2019 10:11:16 am

I agree, it’s very situational.

Saymen

4/29/2019 10:10:32 am

Yes video surveillance has made the world a better place for example if someone wants to do some kind of crime do to video surveillance they will think harder not to do it. It provenance criminal from doing bad things.

Nutt

4/29/2019 10:12:36 am

Video surveillance has brought many people comfort knowing that they have a way to catch any body who might be up to no good, it also has brought a fear that our lives are no longer private. I say that privacy isn’t a concern any more as our generation tweets and posts everything we do all the time.

Hailey Jo

4/29/2019 10:13:30 am

To an extent yes I think video surveillance had made the world a better place. Because it can be a helpful tool in crime.

Jennifer

4/29/2019 10:16:17 am

I think it is helpful in some aspects for safety reasons or for areas that stealing is common. I wouldn’t say it taking away our privacy is bad because most of us don’t deserve the privacy. We wouldn’t need video surveillance if we weren’t doing things we shouldn’t.
