Surveillance should only be used for fighting against crime

Surveillance helps society to remain safe. It is impossible to tell how often that those who are guilty are caught by the use of camera footage. The ability has even aided us in preventing tragic events. It is useful in protecting us during potential mass crimes at public events, home robberies, store break-ins, violent shootings, etc. On the other hand, crimes are more likely to be committed in areas where there is no heavy monitoring. There are many cases where even cameras cannot assist in identifying the culprit. Busy streets and the outside of many town buildings are dotted with video cameras. Cities are beginning to modify these cameras to have facial recognition. Many resources from all over the globe have been used to produce this new technology. Because keeping these intricate systems running is a costly endeavor, it may be unnecessary to keep them on city streets waiting for a crime that is not guaranteed to happen. Clearly, they can be useful against enemies whether foreign or domestic, as well as bringing justice to dangerous people. Wherever the highest level of threat is, is the location that should house the highest resources for surveillance.
