THE ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES OF CCTV CAMERAS
There are now four million CCTV cameras in the UK. That means one camera for every fourteen people. If you live in London, you are caught on camera 300 times every' day.This is becoming a very important issue in our lives. How is it: affecting us? This essay will consider whether CCTV cameras are good or bad for us.
One serious disadvantage of CCTV cameras is that it is difficult to find private places in our cities. People are watching us everywhere we go. Another problem with them is that, because there are so many of them, the government has spent a lot of money on them.
On the other hand, a major advantage is that they help to catch criminals and prevent crimes from happening in the first place. Another advantage is that ordinary people feel safer and have more freedom to lead their lives as they wish.
To sum up, are the cameras good or bad? This is a difficult question to answer. Although we feel safer, every move we make is seen by someone, somewhere. Therefore, we might get more freedom in some ways, but we lose it in other ways. Perhaps we need more time to understand the effects ofthis, but I personally think that the advantages are greater than the disadvantages.
