Exploiting Power through Spy Cameras

Who will not want to be Big Brother To become the all-seeing, controlling god of all Well, probably not "domineering god of all" but being the all-seeing person would be simply as potent, don't you believe so That may be one cause why there are numerous issues when it comes to using hidden spy cameras, assault of privacy being one of these. Power is actually something that everyone abhors and, paradoxically, anyone wants. Spy cameras, while they're a benefit to a certain person, could be so damaging to another. They can be a significant tool or something that would pull you down.

There is this one circumstance involving a professor who made use of a hidden camera cloaked as a button to videotape misbehaving students in school. The students together with their families have filed cases against the mentioned professor for "misusing her authority" and recording the students without their consent. Indeed, it was unlawful for the professor to do it, yet if we evaluate the other manner, we might notice that what the professor was basically doing was revealing these behavioral matters to the public so that they could be addressed appropriately. I am pretty sure that the Virginia Tech tragedy is still recent on everyone's minds. Such behavioral tendencies could have been noticed earlier and consequently prevented the tragedy from happening. If a covert spy cam is what it takes to prevent such tragic incidents, then I will not mind teachers filming their students at school in any way.

Yet there are also a couple who abuse the benefits of hidden video cameras. I would suppose all are aware of matters of shameful actions caught on video that are being utilized to blackmail a person. Or those that obviously invades other individual's privacy as in putting covert cameras in areas where surveillance is not necessary, such as the bathroom or personal rooms for purposes of personal gratification or malicious intent. Stalking using spy video cameras is also another form of abuse of this technology.

However, there is one thing that shocks me. Some homeowners use nanny cameras to monitor their baby-sitters and house helpers while they're away. And these nannies are not aware of the placement of the spy cam till they get caught doing some hanky-panky and confronted about it. However, no one seems to be protesting. If they get caught mistreating a child or doing something wrong, the matter of the nanny's claim to privacy is never raised. It is because the owners possess the power to do whatever they want to protect the family and the nanny did something incorrect.

Thus, when is the use of covert surveillance cameras right and when is it not Apparently, the thin red demarcation dividing them is a lot thinner than we believe. When the person making use of the surveillance cam is in power, its use is justified. But if choosing to use covert spy cameras would make us more secured, then I'm for it. Besides, why would I worry about it when I am not doing anything that is against the rules or is morally incorrect However, as long as they maintain well behind the line, it will not be an issue.
