Traffic Wardens Get Video Cameras

We can see CCTV cameras wherever we go in Japan now. There are good points and also bad points in having CCTV cameras everywhere except for private places.

I think it is good to have CCTV cameras to prevent crime and find a criminal if someone commits crime. I can always feel protected when I see CCTV cameras. At places where don't have any CCTV camera I feel a little bit danger. Having CCTV cameras enable a watchman to realize that something happens or will happen to see a suspected person in camera, and then he can send for the police. Even if an incident had already happened, police could know what had caused it or who had done it. So even after an incident police still can reach after the truth. Furthermore, because of CCTV cameras, some people who is planning to commit crime may give up committing.

On the contrary, I also have the opposite idea. Although CCTV cameras are set to keep watching us, I'm afraid of that our privacy are invaded. Keeping being watched all the time makes me nervous and I don't feel comfortable. Even when I am at home, I sometimes suspect something and wonder whether CCTV cameras are set only in public or not. Now the technology is high in Japan, so I think it is possible for someone to set cameras somewhere we cannot notice and cameras keep watching us. When I see cameras on the street, I wonder if those cameras had been really set by government. That might be exaggerated, but I don't know how much effective for us to have CCTV cameras.

I conclusion, though I have two ideas to agree and disagree with having CCTV cameras. I prefer having CCTV cameras watch us. CCTV cameras can protect us more or less. I just have to believe that cameras around me keep watching us to protect us.
