Nearly a third of Gen Z Americans say government should put cameras in every home to prevent crime and abuse

A new poll found a surprising percentage of Gen Z Americans supporting the idea of the government placing cameras in every home in order to prevent crime and abuse.

The finding was a part of a poll of 2,000 Americans by the Cato Institute.

The poll asked whether Americans supported "the government installing surveillance cameras in every household to reduce domestic violence, abuse, and other illegal activity.”

Overall, very few Americans supported the idea, about 14 percent, or one out of every seven respondents. A large majority, 75%, opposed the idea, and only 10% said they weren't sure.

But among those aged below 30 years, 29% said they supported the idea, almost a third of respondents in that age group.

Only 20% of those between the ages of 30 and 44 years were supportive of the massive government surveillance proposition.

The poll found more support for government surveillance among Hispanics, 25%, and the most support came from blacks, 33%, while whites had the least support, followed by Asians.

I am surprised that anyone wanted government spy cameras placed in American homes, let alone 29%.

How discouraging is that?

Means I’ll just simply take a baseball bat or golf club to such a thing and possibly also to the millennials who’d advocate for such a thing.

Completely successful indoctrination. These kids don’t have freedom loving influences in their lives. They are surrounded by those that cannot control their fears and act rationally in self defense. Cameras will not stop violent acts. When they discover that, the next step is to throw the 3rd Amendment out the window.

This is like in “V For Vendetta”, where America and the rest of the world has amen, all the while the UK is a totalitarian state.

The higher average intelligence demographics oppose it more strongly. Not surprising.

Ok, you all 1st.... oh by the way what is today’s definition of crime and abuse? Who determines if that occurred and maybe we should widen the scope to include smoking, eating meat, not drinking Bud Light beer, shopping at Walmart instead of Target......
