Surveying with cameras makes it anonymous. Lots of things in society are getting more and more anonymous, yet, also with the right to know everything of people.
So, the right of privacy is disappearing on the one hand. Things are hardly personal. On the other hand, people are more and more treated as a number, and answered by systems, in stead of interacting on a human level. And yes, that does bother me. Surveillance cameras are just a part of that.
And privacy? There just has been passed a new law here. People on an unemployment income, or benefit can be raided without a warrant, to get everything looked through, when there is just a possible (not reasonable, but, possible) suspicion of fraud.
So, officially, I am not having a right for privacy at my home either. A possible suspicion can be there all the time. Where the fuck will I have privacy.
And, of course, that raiding will not happen a lot. But, the right to raid is there.
I hate all the fear playing, leading to raids, surveillance cameras, searching because of being in certain city areas. And, I don't think it will make this world any safer or fairer. It will enhance anxiety in society though. Because that is what it thrives on.
