I agree that CCTVs can keep law and order in the society but not everyone should be viewed upon as criminals and be watched over by the police and authorities. Although CCTVs can help catch criminals and murderers easily and protect certain important areas in a country, it may invade into the privacy of others and cause unhappiness. Furthermore, the people must be reassured that taxpayers money is put into good use by ensuring CCTVs installed are fully operating and not simply acting as scarecrows to scare away criminals. I agree that some extent of privacy should be compromised so as to ensure the security and safety of the people so long as the government has some sort of safeguards in place if the CCTVs do not work. The police force should still be ready to tackle any sort of crime acts and maintain peace should CCTVs be damaged. The citizens must be vigilant and cooperate with the authorities to be on their guard.
