Not as much as they were. Thanks to the Trades Unions, cameras in workplace toilets were removed some years ago, but they were the norm, particularly in factories.
but in city centres in the uk they are being introduced in greater numbers to try and stem the flood of muggings and violant crimes against society if it works in this area i think that isacceptable but what is the situation in the usa i think camera use is more widespread there please correct me if im wrong
Yes, it is getting more widespread. Cameras on highways, cameras on city streets (to ticket people speeding and running red lights=money), and cameras inside and outside of businesses.
It is an invasion of one's privacy. Under the guise of "terrorism", they justify it. Pretty soon, people will be forced to have cameras watch them in their own house.
I don't think so -satelite imagery and security drones in the sky-couldn't replace stationary cameras inside big stores,some abduction of a child or even murders YES- for stationary cameras.../MY OPINION/
With the advent of micro fiber-optics and now nanotechnology, we are under almost total surveillance in one form or another either visually or by the chip implants on our clothes and cars. Dressing rooms and washrooms are again being fitted with the fiber-optical cameras...ostensibly being monitored by the respective gender of male or female and within certain brands of TVs that can be turned "off" but power stays on to enable lenses to watch you or whatever room it is in transmitting when you actually press "ON" and the picture comes on...make faces, give "them" the finger, or give 'em a show if you know you have one... %D
omg!!! do you know of any scrambling or blocking devices on the market or that can be made, that disrupt such devices?? ta! like magnetic fields etc...??
