LAW ENFORCEMENT CAMERAS (This is a 70)

The population has been increasing day by day, causing the rates of crime to increase/grow in developed and developing countries as well. There are a variety of security measures that can be taken to decrease the number of crimes in these countries. Law enforcement cameras can be regarded as an example of security precaution. However, some people think that law enforcement cameras are an invasion of privacy, which has caused many debates.. People are mainly divided into two groups, one of which supports the view that law enforcement cameras are an invasion of privacy while the other opposes to it.

First of all, law enforcement cameras are not an invasion of privacy because they are one of the most useful/efficient ways to provide public safety. For example, people having bad intentions are more likely to attack innocent people in crowded areas. In addition, it is not easy to determine malicious people in such places so as to prevent attacks. Bomb attacks can be shown as an example. Therefore, we can see that law enforcement cameras do not abuse people’s private lives and they enable the public to live safely.

Secondly, law enforcement cameras stand out as one of the most prominent evidence in court. To illustrate, when a person commits a crime, law enforcement cameras can register such a situation easier than normal cameras. Moreover, these records can be important evidence for court. Therefore, these cameras provide innocent people with testimony. Overall, law enforcement cameras are not an invasion of privacy and they support testimony in court.

On the other hand, some opponents think that law enforcement cameras are an invasion of privacy because they believe that not everyone is a criminal. In other words, these cameras may violate innocent people’s privacy. This actually seems reasonable to some extent but they do not bear the other side of the coin in mind because these cameras are an effective way to catch criminals. Moreover, the records in these cameras are not shown to everyone. They are very rarely used by people who are not responsible and they get punished when they do it.. In short, these cameras do not harm innocent people’s privacy and they provide public security.

To conclude, there are people who think that law enforcement cameras are an invasion/violation of privacy because they believe that private lives of innocent people should not be recorded by law enforcement cameras. In contrast, some people consider that law enforcement cameras are not an invasion of privacy because of/thanks to providing public safety and supporting testimony in court. It is my contention that law enforcement cameras are one of the most effective ways to build a peaceful environment. (453 words)
