Security cameras are starting to pop up everywhere, even if no one is watching them, they still deter crimes I don’t feel invaded as well.

Having lived in the UK, I found no unwarranted invasion of my privacy, and, quite the contrary, relaxed a bit in public "high-crime" areas, knowing that I was "less of a target" for pickpockets etc., who were no-longer unseen and unpunished. In fact, in the UK, CCTV actually saved the life of a young girl who was alone late at night and was jumped by a rapist. The police were aware of her predicament, and responded in time to prevent serious harm. Those who oppose CCTV must have something to hide! Personally, I have nothing to hide!!!
