Cameras and Cameras. Police and Police. Cameras and Police.

I have very strong feeling about the new body cameras that police have started to where. It has has come up more and more over time. Before I even talk about the subject I would like to talk about my stance since it will round back to the topic at hand. These cameras allow us to see more than ever before. Yet with so many more being placed everywhere, it has become an issue. It's more than just an issue of security, now our privacy is at risk. As a society we seek security but we seem to be giving up our privacy as well. Though they may be useful at times I know these cameras are becoming too abundant. Cameras can only see and hear. They cannot understand what is happening and  cannot react. So they are not the be all end all of reliability.

The other articles touch on the same issue. Perspective, that is the key issue here. Like with memory and sides of battle, change of perspective changes everything. These cameras only see what are before them. The idea that this will fix everything is childish. What good are a man's eyes if he is blind to the world around him? By making police wear body cameras we are creating more questionable situations then we are preventing. We, as a society, are coming to a point where there will be so much surveillance and security that we will cross a line and have more problems then we began with.
