that’s what I would call it.
This is why I have no objections to video cameras in public areas- visible OR hidden.
Character is who you are when no one is looking.
But when you can be pretty certain someone is looking (in public) then that will keep people polite. Similar to the concept that an armed society is a polite society.
For the knee-jerkers: I am talking about PUBLIC areas only- not spying on you in your home. You SHOULD always think someone can see you in public.
But when you can be pretty certain someone is looking (in public) then that will keep people polite.
Anybody who thinks that they are not constantly monitored on a public street or an open to the public business is either really stupid, or completely blind to all the cameras.
They are not that hard to find if you just pay attention.
Don’t pick your nose outside your own home, because somebody is watching you and laughing their A$$ off.
If you read the signs on a school campus, a college, a university, a shopping mall, or any other public place; “CAMERAS ARE INSTALLED FOR YOUR SAFETY”, don’t be foolish enough to believe it.
No camera ever stopped an assault, a rape, or a robbery; they are sometimes useful to catch the perp AFTER the crime.
I speak from experience, I used to install those cameras and review the results.
