It has helped more people get caught doing crimes and getting what they deserve for doing said crimes but I dont believe that it has helped the world be a better place. People can still get away with stuff and businesses wont help the affected person catch who robbed them for instance and so they wont get back what is rightfully theirs

I think in some ways it has and others it hasn't. It has helped crime and police work a lot because we now have solid video evidence of a crime being committed sometimes. However, it makes people very paranoid and in some ways can be an intrusion on privacy.

I believe that to a certain extent surveillance has helped us solve many crimes and saved many people but at the same time there are many people who use it to spy on others and use it to their advantage instead of the advantage of others. Like the government, they spy a lot.

Surveillance has allowed us to catch criminals and keep storekeepers safe. It can also be used to spy on people. Surveillance has many benefits if it’s in the right hands.

Surveillance is good in a lot of different ways. It is used to help catch criminals and also just to keep bad off the street. It can be abused to an extent though.

I think video surveillance for business and outdoor house cameras are good to have. Some people misuse these cameras to spy on people, which shouldn’t be allowed. These types of cameras should be banned.

Video surveillance has many benefits but at the same time many downfalls. Crime or being able to help people doesn’t happen on a specific clock so stuff must constantly be surveillance. This leads people to fear being constantly watched.

I think it is good when people use it for a good reason. Like trying to find criminals or other things needed for evidence. But along with all the good stuff there is a lot of bad stuff. Like spying or other weird things.

It has made the world a better place because it has helped solve and aid in solving crimes. But at the extent we have lost our privacy and it has put too much power into those who are watching.

Surveillance can go both ways. It helps us a lot with finding criminals and protecting salespersons. But can be used against a lot of people in some bad ways like watching them.

I think that if it is used for catching criminals or shop lifting it is good to have unless people overuse it and spy on others which can turn out badly.

I believe that is has made the world a better place in some circumstances. It can help people stop crimes and keep people safe. On the other hand it can also be used to invade privacy and be used to spy on people.

In some ways I think it’s good and others I think it’s not good. Some people use it for a non good purpose. It has help police and others help catch people when they have good video of them. In ways it’s bad I think it’s gone to far we don’t need small hidden cameras. It makes people paranoid. .

I believe it has been very beneficial but can be used ,and in some cases has been, used in a bad way. Video surveillance has protected us from thief’s and criminals. It also has been used for very malicious and illegal acts.
