Question:
Do you feel that video surveillance is an invasion of your privacy or do you feel that it is a necessary part of a safe society?
Don Holbrook,

“I think it was an invasion of privacy, its ridiculous. This country, I don’t know where it’s headed, but it’s headed in the wrong direction.”
Abe Dobson,
Engineering Major
“I think it’s necessary, if you’re not doing any thing wrong, there is no reason why you should mind that there are cameras around. But they need to be regulated, like if they were catching parking tickets, I think that’s wrong.”
Hannah Guseman,
Liberal Arts
“I would say I am in the middle between the two, because there is definitely a need for people to be recorded in certain instances like robberies and things like that, but there is a point where it’s just too much. You should be able to walk down the street and not have to worry that you’re getting caught on every single camera.”
Abraham Alzhm
Biomedical Major
“I think its got to stop—you know, go back to what they were doing before”
Ron Poole,
History major
“It depends on who you are, I would say that if you had a child missing, its probably a pretty good idea. That’s what I usually say with a lot of that stuff. With the cameras all over the place, the cameras in New York City, a lot of people say,oh, it’s invading my privacy, if your kid was missing, you might feel different about it. I’m out in public, I have no expectation of privacy. If you are out in public, you should have no expectation of privacy.”
