Of course I see and I understand why many people are so reluctant to having surveillance cameras all over the place, but I am actually all in favor of them. Because there is an essential difference between surveillance itself, which protects our fundamental rights no to be attacked, and monitoring of our private communications, which constitutes an infringement of our fundamental right on private property. People are scared of cameras because it reminds them of the 1984 novel, but the real threat is not as much an Orwellian world as a Brave New World as depicted by Huxley.
