Are there any solutions?....
Surveillance cameras in banks, offices, shops and streets have been very successful in reducing crime in the workplace and in the general public, but they are also a tool for their users to spy on people's private business. What problems do the use of surveillance creat? Are there any solutions?
We can see easily use surveillance camera anywhere in nowadays. It was a really remarkable device when it was created at an early stage. After that, people established the cameras to surveil for theft, robbery, and fraud so on. It was widely spread everywhere. For example in banks, offices, shops, libraries, apartments, sports complexes, streets, even hotel rooms or public bathes. It has been very successful in reducing crime but it also has weak points.
Now, it's sometimes used to spy on people's private businesses for their profit of money. At situation of a woman undressing or debauchering of having sex with a lover usually leads them in trouble. It is also used for political purpose within politician. If somebody doesn't like a person of the opposite party, he could record that person for slandering. It might be a kind intention of keeping him out.
Worst of all, some of them might use to upload people's private lives on the internet. Surprisingly, it spreads out on the internet whilst he doesn't even know about it himself. In that case, the person might dare lose to live. However I think it's a very common occurrence nor special case.
So Preventing to use for the wrong purpose is to be careful for speech and action by oneself before everything else. Furthermore the users have to use it in conscientiously.

HFireman here,
You make a very good point. So many of the tools we build to make our society a better, safer place are misused. The notion of the double-edged sword which cuts both ways... for good purposes and for evil purposes. I am reminded of a line from a play called The Physicists. It goes like this: A thought once thought cannot be unthought. If we have an idea to build something, we have to take a hard look at the idea, to see if it can be used in evil or malicious ways. If there is a danger that a new piece of technology can do great damage in some way, we may have to abandon that idea. Why? Because once an idea is let loose out into the world, there is no calling it back.
It is good to see you posting some new pieces. Keep up the great work.
Kindest regards,
Howard Fireman
